Grafik is no-more

I discovered today that Grafik magazine (for the time being at least) is no longer going to be produced due to their publisher, Adventures in Publishing, having liquidated the company.

This is a sad time for all readers and followers of the wonderful publication that is was Grafik.

I hope to see them return in the future, the design world will lack terribly (for me anyway) without it.

However all is not lost as they will be carrying on with the blog etc on the website, linked above.

Inside spreads

Three samples of how the inside spreads of the magazine look.

Each double page is based on the same grid structure and equal column widths.

The black bars above blocks of text indicate the beginning of an article or a new section within an article. Each type of article is colour coded and featured in the top left of the spread.

The body text is set in 11pt Adobe Garamond Pro, and the image references are in 8pt of the same face.

The finished article

My final magazine photographed alone and next to 'competitors'.

I am extremely happy with the quality of the outcome and the professional look of the whole project.
