Designing Magazines is the complete guide to understanding the inner workings of magazines and their day-to-day management--and a great guide to using that knowledge to create visually stunning, editorially effective magazines, in both new designs and rebranding. Thirty-five experienced editors, designers, and consultants, all at the top of their fields, present their insights on the goals and process of magazine design. Chapters focus on problems faced by designers, ethical considerations, the future of the field, and many more relevant but rarely discussed issues.

Book excerpt: Today's world is so flooded with images and information that only the freshest new designs get noticed. But dominating trends and carbon-copy successes often trap designers in been there, done that mediocrity. Inspiration = Ideas helps artists kick their work out of the clone zone and journey into new, uncharted visual territory. The book introduces readers to found design, where inspiration flows not from successful finished designs, but from textures, colors, patterns, and primitive and offbeat imagery. From indigenous design (Brazilian canned good labels), traditional patterns (the hennaed hands of Indian brides), and captivating textures and materials (ikat paper) -- to examples of current local commercial design on simple things like food packaging -- this well-traveled sourcebook brings an endless stream of rare global images and ideas straight to designer's doorsteps. Complete with frequent sidebars that explore how successful designers are inspired by and have used found design in their work, this exotic visual tour will enable artists to bring their work from common and bland to original and beautiful.

Download or read book No More Prisons written by William Upski Wimsatt and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A truly remarkable collection of activist writings across all topics and perspectives, all while recounting a personal evolution from idealistic urban wanderer to community organizer, from graffiti writer to renowned essayist. Author William Upski Wimsatt delivers stories, strategies, suggestions, straight talk, and conversations with maverick activists. He advocates youth taking charge of their own education, whether it's in or out of school, and promotes the power of young people engaging in philanthropy. A truly original treatise from the paradigm-flipping theorist of youth activism, No More Prisons goes beyond pinpointing problems to hone in on solutions, and declares that today's youth is poised to surpass the activist efforts of the 1960s generation.
