aurora is back, brighter than ever. The sun seemed to have gone down on the compact and covetable in-flight magazine that we at CMYK produced for Highland Airways, when the airline itself ceased trading this year, battered by blizzards and volcanic ash clouds. But we are delighted that aurora has risen again, this time as a customer magazine for Highlands & Islands Airports. It’s on display at the company’s 11 airports, ranging from bustling Inverness to the achingly beautiful beach airport on Barra. Look out for it and help yourself to a copy if you’re flying from any HIA airport. Our summer issue has an insider’s view of the Western Isles, an interview with songstress and DJ Cerys Matthews, a piece on superfoods that won’t break the bank and much more besides.
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
Jostling for best customer magazine is our wee baby aurora – launched in the teeth of the recession, but still bringing in the advertising, and looking fab. But we would say that wouldn’t we.
Obviously, chuffed to bits to be recognised for all our efforts over the past year.
With all this talk of magazines closing, it’s about time we told you about our new (glossy) project, which launches today. Aurora – the inflight magazine for Highland Airways – is now officially out and available on scheduled and charter flights from the company.
CMYK Design create editorial content, commission photography and illustrations, sell advertising space in the title and handle print and distribution. It’s fantastic to be involved in a magazine like this – and we expect the magazine to go from strength to strength.
Our new inflight magazine, aurora, for Highland Airways, went to press on Friday. Of course I couldn’t miss a trip to our printers, Scotprint, who are based in Haddington.
All went really well, with 16 to view printed both sides – so 32 pages passed in one fell swoop! I remember the days when I used to pass every section of Caledonia magazine, but it was only 8 pages to view, single sided. You can imagine how long that took.
Anyway, we are due to get early copies on Wednesday, so will update this post then.
Highland Airways has asked CMYK Design to publish a new quarterly inflight magazine for their passenger routes, starting in spring 2009. CMYK will create all editorial content and also sell advertising space for the magazine which will go under the name aurora. At 52 pages, the magazine will cover lifestyle, city focus features, wealth management, sport and health matters, along with profiles and Highland Airways news content.
