Wait till 2002, then you'll see.

Does no one else get bored of all magazines being the same shape? Always on paper? Always read from front to back and left to right?

There's exceptions, of course. Like McSweeney's.

But what about them fashion pages in the Face and Pop where the models aren't wearing any clothes? Have the editors never read the Emperor's New Clothes? Or maybe they've read it one too many times?

generally its cheaper to stick to the standard format.

Also Magazines are generally things people pick up to leaf thru on the train or bus, or scan thru at home.. if they have to feck about and try to figure it all out they're going to get fustrated and not bother next issue. well thats one school of thought anyway...

Dazed and Confused have that thing where you can read from the back, and I think Blah Blah Blah used to be square. A problem because it didn't stick out on standard magazine racks due to it being that bit shorter

With a bit of thought and good design its worth looking at different formats to get yer mag noticed

what magazines are folks reading these days??

Saw some maggurzeen once what was all storyboards. The thing was about A5 size and it opened out into an A2 sheet of paper with storeyboard cells on it - the idea was you could make your own movie of it. Very clever.

Cabinet is a damn good magazine. Mute ain't so bad.

NO!! Fucking hell Keeror, it's the shite that's written inside magazines that bores me, not their fucking shape

 

[Osimono]

You can say that again

 

[Keeror]

To be honest, the standard magazine format doesn't bother me that much.
What bothers me is that as a left hander all reading and writing is contrary to my instinct, being from left to right.
I always flick through magazines starting at the back.
Maybe I should learn to read Japanese and start buying those Manga imports.

 

[Pantone247]

as a fellow lefty hander I can safely say its just you Keeror

what has your southpaw ways got to do with how you read a magazine anyhow???

thats like getting trapped in a room cause the door handles are all right handed.....

 

[mugwump]

I wonder if Ned Flanders had any left handed reading material in his leftorium.

I see. It's not just you then?

It has to do with which thumb you instinctively use to flick through a book or zine. I always use my left, meaning I have to turn the zine back to front.

thats like getting trapped in a room cause the door handles are all right handed.....

It's really frightening when that happens, isn't it?

Did you never have trouble with learning to write as a leftie in a righties world? I had endless smudge problems.
I still do, but the smudges are of a different type altogether nowadays.

 

[Monkey]

I always flick through books and magazines backwards too.
The smudge thing is a pain in the arse. But they say left handers are better artists and better in bed.
