Magazine cover design for fall

We got a peek of the Sept/Oct 2008 cover and inside layout of AF yesterday. The designers at Barbara Brown Marketing & Design (BBMD) did a great job.

As part of the process to put together a magazine, designers have to spend a lot of time putting together the pieces that make the magazine look nice: the colors, the fonts, the images, the layout of the text, etc. It's not an easy task.

During the last few weeks before the magazine is printed, we often have to work with the designers on a regular (almost daily) basis to make sure we eliminate all the blemishes--typos, misplaced images, bad pagination. Sometimes we must cut something out at the last minute, which gives us a different layout than the one we see in the beginning.

So rest assured that what we saw yesterday may somewhere along the next two months change, hopefully for the better.
