Welcome to ModMag London 2018 Our speakers are all set to deliver another inspirational day, this time revolving around the idea of Reinvention. Whether reinventing traditional genres, questioning the idea of what a magazine is, extending from digital to print or simply redesigning, we hope today will be a reminder that there can be no standing still in magazine publishing. Today, more than ever, it is vital to keep adapting to our circumstances. This magazine introduces our speakers and the running order for the day. As well as their talks, don’t forget to check out the additional activities planned for the breaks – see the centre-spread of this magazine for more details. This is our sixth London edition of ModMag and follows a successful first New York edition earlier this year. Enjoy!
‘The latest issue features a subtle redesign. Still quite recognisable – this is not a complete revolution – the pages are larger, the logo on the cover elegantly debossed, and the paper changed to a smooth, uncoated stock.’ J EREMY LESLIE M AGCULTURE JOURNAL 1 7 APRIL 2018

‘Sabat is a uniquely designed object that ignores much received wisdom of editorial design and revels in the possibilities of print to make a really special publication. And vitally, it perfectly reflects its subject matter.’ J EREMY LESLIE M AGCULTURE JOURNAL 4 APRIL 2017

‘Sometimes everything gets a little sensible in magazine-land. Familiar typefaces and layouts present well-considered editorial concepts; advice is listened to, an audience envisaged. All of which is fine, sensible, but… what about that basic urge to MAKE?’ J EREMY LESLIE M AGCULTURE JOURNAL 3 AUGUST 2017
