British Magazine Design - Anthony Quinn - Hardcover
This book is an investigation into the design and history of British magazines over the past 170 years. A magazine flourishes or folds according to its audience's response to its look and feel - sometimes more so than its written content - and this study of a developing history encompasses discussion of graphic design, typography, photography and innovative print technology. It identifies turning points and new directions in one of the most sensitive barometers of mass-market design taste, from the advent of two periodicals - Punch and the Illustrated London News - that changed publishing fundamentally, through to the beginnings of digital distribution.
Published with full access to the National Art Library's unparalleled archive of periodicals, British Magazine Design is a definitive history. It explores why magazines have looked how they do.
