Print is definitely not dead in our household. Over the past few months I've become increasingly obsessed with free magazines, in particularly the ones which brands + stores are producing in-house. I'm constantly impressed with peoples' passion towards creating these mostly-free publications - which can usually be found sitting quietly on till counters or slipped into your bag when you purchases something.
But, free publications aside, there are a small handful of magazines that I look forward to parting money with, when that release date rolls around. At the top of my wishlist you're likely to find Printed Pages by design + visual communications aficionados It's Nice That.
The beauty of Printed Pages, other than the super cool content + inspiring designs, is their pre-order incentive. If you're lucky enough to get ahead of the game you'll receive your mag a couple of weeks early, along with a whole bunch of free stuff. Issue 13's pre-order includes a Litho poster by illustrator Tim Lahan, a screen print by illustrator James Jarvis, five postcards featuring the issue's best imagery and a set of stickers by illustrator Kate Prior's International Women’s Day commission - as well as you're shiny new magazine.
Not too shabby for £10. Issue 13 of Printed Pages is available here.
I was looking at this in Magma over the weekend - almost bought it but ended up with Umbrella instead. Think this will be next on the reading list though.

Both solid choices, I am a big fan of Umbrella too. Defo get it.
ReplyDeleteNever read that mag but I think I will like it!

I feel that Printed Pages definitely influences your style choices Mat. In this issue alone I can see all these bold colours making their way into your wardrobe this summer.
