Before and after graphic design makeover–see a newsletter turn into a magazine!
Filed Under Branding, Newsletters
Graphic designers and business owners interested in publication makeovers are invited to check out an online interview and slide show showing Planning Magazine’s transition from a newsletter to a magazine. Planning, published by the American Institute of Certified Planners, began as a newsletter, and during its life, has undergone many makeovers.
You can view the various stages of the makeover, as well as access a video interview with Sylvia Lewis, Planning’s Senior Editor and Publisher. Design makeovers are always fun, especially when those involved discuss their goals and methodologies. Many readers credit the before and after examples in my original Looking Good in Print: A Guide to Basic Design for Desktop Publishing, with a great deal of its success.
