Very lovely online fashion zine that I’d love to see on newsprint, created by Romeu Silveira and distributed via blogspot since 2006 (via Thinking for a Living) UPDATE: Bandwidth currently exceeded on the images, but do download the PDFs

Digital magazine association needed
Or at least a digital section of the ones that already exist, to provide sales teams with research to back up their assertions. Though would it really make much of a difference?

Stack offers a different independent magazine every month
Sounds good – but why didn’t any of the big distribution houses come up with this? There’s a huge lack of imagination in distribution that means they miss out on ideas like this one, that can inject a bit of excitement for an audience craving new things outside of the mainstream.

Anyway, once there are many more mags, I want to be able to choose between the person selecting the mag.

They’re made for each other.

Amelia’s Magazine has long been a reference point for the independent magazine world.

Founded in 2004, each book-thick issue has been painstakingly put together by a gang of talented interns, illustrators and Amelia herself, to the acclaim of fans around the world. And the latest issue, number 10 (now available to pre-order) is its last.

The expected sale price is £15,000-20,000, which isn’t bad for a magazine that often retails for several thousand dollars a copy, especially considering some fool apparently paid $65,000 for the same editions in December. Whether it’s worth it or not all depends on your view of art.

After a big PR push and a long delay, PMc, the first magazine designed only for the iPhone, is now available for 99c in the iTunes store. Rather than a brand extension of an existing title, instead it’s a brand-new fashion and style magazine from photographer Patrick McMullan. A brave new world or a missed opportunity?

How a magazine page is designed
Video of putting together a page for the Royal Academy magazine, designed by Studio8. ‘Light Fantastic’ was a much better headline, I reckon (via MagCulture)

Wallpaper* uses clever ink for The Secret Elite edition
Brilliant. But why subscribers only? (and did they subconsciously copy Wire for the main image?)
