Telly addict

Published: 18 October, 2011 by Neil in Events and From the archives.

The V&A have a postmodern exhibition on at the moment. Right up my street. Neville Brody and Terry Jones are talking this Friday about their massive contribution to the magazine culture that flourished in the eighties (sold out I’m afraid). But it got me thinking about the last time Neville Brody was involved with the V&A. It was back in 1988 when there was a retrospective of his work. The book of the exhibition is on every designer’s shelf. Continue reading ‘Telly addict’

A brush with celebrity

Published: 3 December, 2010 by Matt in Events and WeMakeMags.

We’re delighted to say that Scotland Outdoors, the magazine we design for Big Bend Publishing won the award for Best Magazine From a Small Publisher at the PPA Scotland awards in Glasgow on Wednesday night for the second year running.

The team at Big Bend really do put heart and soul into this title and we’re absolutely delighted their efforts have been recognised – although sad that they couldn’t make it to the awards ceremony in person. Instead, Matt got the honour of rubbing shoulders with the event host, comedian Craig Hill!

Hotel magazines

Published: 13 August, 2010 by Neil in Events, From the archives and Mags we like.

I must admit, I thought hotels nowadays sourced  local magazines for their rooms. However, it seems that some hotels actually publish their own – what’s more they name them after existing titles like Cosmopolitan! See this post from HotelChatter.com We’ll keep an eye out for their forthcoming selection of the genre and post a link to it nearer the time.

Some more hotel magazines to look at, courtesy of HotelChatter.com. Makes us want to go on holiday. Now.
