ModMag16

The fourth Modern Magazine day took place at Central St Martins, London, last week. A sell-out crowd saw 12 speakers from across the magazine world share their their work. Small indie publishers stood alongside some of the most influential editors and art directors to celebrate magazine making. Madeleine live blogged the day for the Journal, and here are photos of some of the highlights of the day and links to other reviews and coverage:

Read Rob Alderson’s live blog of the day for We Transfer.

Grace Wang reviewed the day for Stack Magazines and Steve Watson from Stack interviewed Jeremy Leslie at the end of the day for their latest podcast.

Hear the special edition of Monocle24’s The Stack recorded at ModMag16: interviews with Jeremy Leslie, Seb Emina (The Happy Reader), Kirsten Algera (MacGuffin), Terri White (Empire) and Paul Gorman (author, ‘The Legacy of The Face’).

Designer Neil Braidwood shares his thoughts about what he saw and heard; as does Hot Rum Cow’s Eric Campbell.
