Adventures in a world of print
Vintage Goodwood – (a celebration of all that is great about British culture) begins on Friday. Brainchild of Wayne Hemingway (he of Red or Dead fame) – the festival will consist of music, fashion and all things cultural. I dearly want to go, but it is just too far to travel with the current workload we have. Continue reading ‘Vital Vintage (1940s)’
There will be plenty to inspire you at the 2010 O.K Festival in Arnhem, the Netherlands between 16-18 April. Featuring leading Dutch and International independent magazines, the roll call comprises (amongst others), Anorak, Found Magazine, Graphic, Gym Class, Karen etc. With workshops and speakers, including Simon Esterson and Luis Mendo, this promises to be an unmissable event.
Now, I wonder if we can get a flight from Edinburgh…

Last night the team from CMYK were celebrating in style after winning Member Magazine of the Year at the PPA Scotland Awards 2009.
Talking of awards, The Maggies have been announced. Nice to see a couple of Scottish magazines in there – notably, Clash, winning the lifestyle category against titles like Red, She and Good Housekeeping. Well done lads!
The shortlist is out, and CMYK Design is nominated in five categories of the PPA Scotland Awards to be announced on 26 November at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh.
FYi is up for best magazine design in the business & professional category
Scotland Outdoors is a contender for best magazine design in the consumer area
Our work on Scotland in Trust magazine is being recognised in the Best small publisher category and also as best membership magazine
