About this title

Synopsis

Contemporary magazine design at its best is presented in this reference guide of examples from around the world, accompanied by interviews with key designers. The book discusses how editorial designers use elements such as navigational devices, photography, illustration, and typography to make a product that is understandable and attractive. Also covered are Web-based magazines and the unique restraints and practical design solutions that arise when designing for the Internet.
