Heritage Magazine.

I figured there were people like me who are looking at the heritage side of Plymouth.

The best history magazine I have found is one called Heritage. The website is very dull but they have interactive online issues for all their publications which are worth checking out. It is one of the more clean cut history magazines I've found.

To Find their back issues just look to the right of the top menu bar and click.

magCulture is a website/blog dedicated to magazine design. I just found it and thought it might be helpful for inspiration...

They have stuff tagged by Topic on the sidebar which looks quite useful, eg. the Designers topic, the Front Covers topic ..

Some nice contents pages.

Page layout designing example

Cool video, designer recorded his entire page layout development. Shows that it even takes them a while!

Fun video to see how many of the workers could fold this magazine back up. All did it fairly quickly but it shows to not make folded magazines too complicated.

Thumbs up

Here's some nice thumbnails Hanna was working on for her publication. Hopefully you're all thinking of the layout of the page by now and that a beautiful magazine is forming before your eyes.

Note: I couldn't resist the title, sorry about that.
