The Art series

Mag-Art

Innovation in Magazine Design and Packaging

by Charlotte Rivers

Mag-Art follows on from the success of CD-Art and DVD-Art. The area of print magazine design and art is a continually evolving area, where new and innovative design is constantly being explored.

The book explores both mainstream and limited-edition magazines, and looks at two main areas: the creative inspiration behind the work, such as typography, materials and printing techniques, and the practical considerations and restrictions, such as credits, captions and budgets.

By looking at the magazine industry as a whole, Mag-Art provides a wider perspective on emerging trends and what makes a successful magazine. This definitive volume will therefore arm designers with the tools necessary to create innovative and exciting magazines.
