Print Perfection

An Ode to Vogue 


This publication never ceases to amaze me with the absolutely gorgeous design, and the inevitable creativity that is intermittently spread throughout the entire 250 compilation. 

The design aesthetic, coordinating color palettes, explicit layout, and the precision that is displayed on every single page of this magazine is incredibly inspiring.

For those design savvy readers out there, subscribing to a variety of different magazines is a really great way to help to build what I like to refer to, as your "style library." A compilation of different stylistic ideas that inspire you to create.

One of the beautiful things about design, aside from its quite obvious grace, is that whether your medium is print, or digital; film, or still; or any of the like- ideas that spark in your mind can be applied in some form or another to every medium. 

This months' issue of Vogue- as picture above, included a surprise in the middle of the edition. One page was designed into what looked like a Christmas gift,  when you opened the gift the flaps of paper unfolded to reveal a exquisite design layout of varying 2012 Christmas Gift ideas, and a pull away Holiday Gift Guide, "mini" magazine!

Techniques like this are popular, and increase interested readership because of the audience participation factor, much like an interactive website online!
