Turning Pages

Magazines and newspapers are under pressure for years already. Any reasonable thinking person would say it is a complete waist of time, money and energy to start one. And still new titles keep coming and going. For some reason it’s every publisher’s and graphic designer’s wet dream to do a magazine. “If only we could make one of our own.” That’s why every designer starts drooling over a book like Turning Pages. The book is full of examples from renown designers and cutting-edge titles like Mirage Magazine, Self Service, Butt, Mark and Fantastic Man, exploring the boundaries of today’s editorial design. Much of it is actually pretty ugly, but... it’s in a magazine so it must be cool.
