Another important trio.
“An art editor and editor need respect and love for each other, but they also need to be prepared to fall out, have sulks, get together… it’s a marriage.”Jeremy Leslie, Group Creative Director, John Brown Citrus Publishing.

CoNTEXTMaking a Magazine
Even though all three of us have interest in magazines we are all beginners in the publishing world.
• How can we make our magazine stand out?
• How can we make it interesting for our target audience?

“For the general public, magazines are one of the most noticeable manifestations of the art of graphic design.”Adrian Shaughnessy, Graphic Design: A User’s Manual
Important steps:
• Name & Masthead• Grid• Selection of Typefaces• Navigation system• Style, Colours, Artwork• Contributors, Content
![Page 16: mad pres latest](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/568bdbac1a28ab2034af6329/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
on Art Direction:
• An Art Director needs to have a clear vision of the final outcome. Art direction also always involves directing other people.
on Commissioning Creatives:
• Let your creative suppliers know what you expect - but make sure you leave them the space to do what they do.
on Magazine Design:
• Learn to edit. Most of the time you are creating by distilling the best from other people’s raw material, so learn to edit your ideas, other people’s ideas, pictures and words and how they can be used in different ways and combinations on a page to tell stories and hold the reader’s attention.
Words of wisdom from Adrian Shaughnessy and Simon Esterson from Graphic Design: A User’s Manual.

Melting type, changing images, showing changes in the layout, finishing pages that someone else started, having things continuing from one spread to another but slightly altered…
Ideas on how we mix our theme with our layout

Hmm but how does this relate to me?
I can pick up a newspaper easily with out the burden of weight or price associated with books or heavy glossies
The newspaper format is transient in nature and therefore suits the theme of changes
The special edition screen-printed inserts will make me feel like I have a unique, one of a kind publication
I am impressed by these students’ ideas, organisation and technical ability and want to offer them their dream design job

Hmm but how does this relate to me?
I am already interested in similar publications and am prepared to spend my money on such products
I spend time in the kind of places where such publications are distributed (student social areas, degree shows, specialist bookshops)
![Page 42: mad pres latest](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/568bdbac1a28ab2034af6329/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Forward Thinking
The show
Spreads on the wall and magazine sold in the show shop
Sponsorship & Funding
Who has young creatives as their target audience?
Fit with changes theme:• Lush Cosmetics• Body Shop
big Companies who can afford it:• Energy/Drink brands• Fashion brands
![Page 43: mad pres latest](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/568bdbac1a28ab2034af6329/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Retail & Distribution
Assuming the publication is finished to the standard we’d like it to be we would love to try and sell it. The ideal method would be through a creative youth network like the YCN or Jotta. Also specialist book/magazine retailers such as R. D. Franks and ArtWords stock similar publications. This would be a great way of getting our work out to a wider audience and hopefully securing interest for future issues.

Documentation
• Screen-shots• Printouts• Exhibitions• Inspirations• Photographs• Experiments

Another outcome will be the documentation of the process and development of the project. We will insure that we thoroughly document both group and individual experimentation to ensure our personal experiences come through.
