  • Linefeed Reading List for September 2010

    —

    And since we’re celebrating the return of Grafik and the news that Michael will be redesigning the magazine, let me also take a moment to point out that the always great Linefeed Reading List — in which Michael flips through a stack of magazines, commenting along the way — has a new edition up. This…

  • The Rebirth of Grafik

    —

    As happy as I was to be sent a copy of Grafik for the SNOW Magazine Cafe, it was bittersweet in that it happened just before the magazine was suddenly shut down this past summer. Well, as has been tweeted and blogged by quite a few people today, the editors have regained ownership and will…

  • Adobe vs. WoodWing, Round 1

    —

    ,

    The Adobe editing tools used by Conde Nast for their Wired and New Yorker apps get a lot of attention — often in conjunction with the resulting bloated file size they produce — but let us not forget that there are other iPad magazine editing tools out there (working within InDesign), with WoodWing probably being…

  • Where’s Wired?

    —

    ,

    I was going to go with a title like “Is Wired on iPad Dead,” which is of course not the case, but I am wondering why the October issue of Wired on iPad hasn’t been released yet. So far, every issue has come out around the 26-27th of the month, but I’m still waiting. Did…

  • The New Yorker on iPad

    —

    ,

    The big news in the digital magazine world this week is of course the release of Conde Nast’s The New Yorker app. It was designed by the same team behind the Wired magazine app — creative director Scott Dadich is in fact now in charge of bringing all of the publisher’s stable of titles to…

  • Interview on iPad and Other Edition

    —

    ,

    I’m a bit confused by what Other Edition is doing with their digital line-up of magazines. According to their website, you can pay 7 euros to have access to all of their titles — and they are doing quite a few, including Interview, IdN, and V — but so far, if you look at Interview,…

  • Dazed & Confused Japan RIP

    —

    Yes, another one bites the dust, with Dazed & Confused Japan as the latest Japanese culture magazine casualty. Even though the official site doesn’t have any announcement, Néojaponisme recently tweeted the news, linking to the following post which indicates that #84 is the final issue. The Japanese edition was first launched back in 2002, and…

  • Clips and Zines

    —

    ,

    If you’ll allow me to go analog for a moment, I need to say how much I love the way they displayed all of the participating zines at the launch party (or “reading room”) for the terrific-looking Fanzines book. It’s incredibly simple, using clips, and my first thought was that I should have done something…
