Lovers of book, magazine, and journal design have the opportunity to peel back the curtain and see how the designers, editors, and illustrators behind the scenes make it happen. From choosing fonts and setting up a grid to breaking the rules and finding new ideas, more than 35 experts from the mainstream to the bleeding edge share their insights, wisdom, and experience with publication design. You’ll learn how the creative director of the New York Times Magazine makes the most of just a few fonts, why the founder of Adbusters encourages anarchy, how a partner from Pentagram manages a makeover, why an art director from England loves ’zines, and how a production guru from Asia pushes print to its maximum capabilities. Special sections include Magazine Makeover, Deconstructing a Spread, How Illustrators Work, What a Cover Needs to Do, and The Future of Magazines. Whether you’re an experienced publication designer or a student seeking to understand how the big names made their mark, 100 Habits of Successful Publication Designers provides a critical compendium of great ideas and the best creative thinking.
