This time it’s a freaking book… about magazines and graphic techniques, pre-computers produced in 1990 by the man behind i-D magazine [i-dmagazine.com], Terry Jones.
More magazine science with a lesson in feature to advert flow courtesy of brand spanking new publication, Vogue Hommes Japan [voguehommes.jp]. Part of the Boicozine series of mini-movies about magazines. PS When I say ‘gold foil’ I actually meant ‘metallic ink’. Oops!
The third Boicozine mini-feature on magazines stars all 19 issues of innovative cinema magazine, Little White Lies [littlewhitelies.co.uk] produced by The Church of London [thechurchoflondon.com]… oh and the hippity hop flyers link I mention in the filum is here… [toledohiphop.org].
The second Boicovideo features vintage editions of three magazines, L’œil [artclair.com/oeil] from 1970, Design [vads.ahds.ac.uk/diad] from 1963 and The Architectural Review [arplus.com] from 1962.
This is a bit of an experiment, partly inspired by a presentation by Jeremy Leslie [magculture.com/blog], Mark Porter [markporter.com] and Richard Spencer Powell [monocle.com] at St Bride’s last Wednesday, courtesy of YCN Live (Thanks James! It were top.) [ycnonline.com/live].
The big question that seems to be floating about at the moment is once you acknowledge the influence online media has had on traditional print media, how do you then make yourself visible when readers may not even be viewing your content through your own website. I’ve often wondered how many people visit Boicozine directly or prefer to view these here posts via a reader such as Google Reader [reader.google.com]. I know many of you still do because of the encouraging (and occasionally negative) comments I get when meeting readers in person. Film is shaping up to be the last vestige of branding for publications starting to aggregate content. So without further ado. The first Boicozine mini-movie thingy. It’s about a new magazine concept called Distill [distilldigital.com]. Let me know what you think of the video. Too fast? Too shabby? Too much like I’m liking the sound of my own voice?
