Mag-Art. Innovation in Magazine Design and Packaging (Paperback)

Part of the successful Art series, Mag-Art looks at an international collection of innovative graphic design within the continually developing area of print magazine design and packaging. 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.
