After my Crit on Thursday it seems logical to heavily focus my research and design towards the Editorial/Publishing side of things, so I'm carrying on researching various publications, such as this one. From the off, this looks pretty edgy as such, a little bit rugged, which is quite refreshing to see, as most magazine designs often seem to abide by a clean-cut A4 format which looks pristine and a little mundane. It doesn't appear like they've overly tried to push the boundaries in terms of grid systems and layouts; instead, a simple grid has been used to maximise the image and type, allowing them to push these elements to the boundaries, and as a result, have created a unique feel for this publication.
Obviously in relation to my own current project this kind of alternative approach may not be quite suitable, but nonetheless, I would like to give my own publications an individual and unique aesthetic and feel to set it apart from others.
