From mass-market to exclusive, limited-edition magazines, "Mag-Art" explores both the creative inspiration behind the work - the artwork and photography, typography, paper stock and materials, printing techniques, finishes, and formats - and the practical considerations of magazine production - inclusion of essential advertisements, navigation, credits captions, and budgets. "Mag-Art" analyzes format, pagination, layout, art direction, production values, and style, and reveals emerging trends in the industry, what makes a magazine successful, and how good design works. This definitive volume will arm designers with the tools to create innovative magazines that are covetable, collectible objects.
