Gloriously geeky. Love it. Two things I particularly enjoy: 1) the way you marked out special bits in Distill worthy of note. Would have been good to do in this one too? 2) The way that, at the end of Distill and L’Oeil, you dismissively flick the magazines away and they glide off the surface. You should end all the mags that way, with a blank colour having flicked away the mag.

Anything worth saying about the writing / features themselves on any of these mags? Any suggestions of things you’d do differently, and how?

No-one seems to hate it… yet. I’m glad you picked up on the flick at the end. I did it once and really liked it so had to do it again. I think this mini-movie thing could be my new addiction. It would be good to be able to describe the editorial structure and flow wouldn’t it. Maybe I’ll try to be a little more in depth next time. If I start writing scripts though. somebody stop me.
