Publication spreads://

Looking at existing publication spreads focusing on their use of columns, layout, image and type to engage and communicate to the readers. As much as I like the technology and digitalizing publications through the internet, I'd still much prefer having the actual book in hand to read. So apart from these 2 examples which I started looking into, I think it's probably best to browse physical copies instead...

IdN / InfoGraphics Issue
The magazine features a selection of design work ranging from established design houses to fresh graduate's. From reading so many issues of IdN, each issue focuses heavily on a specific area of design and visual communication, therefore I can understand how there's so much information in each spread. You get the feeling that they really want to show the work and allow that to tell the story. With the spreads inside, each issue follows a strict format in terms of the content, the layout, choice of colour, type etc often changes to reflect the subject matter, which make's it quite unique.

Grafik Magazine / Issue 181
In comparison to IdN, Grafik seems to have a layout that balances type and image more equally, with a focus more on the written side of things. The nature of this makes the content more relaxed as there's more white space in the spreads, this also allows for more experimental pages, giving the magazine a more diverse range of spreads. The images act as an accompanying feature of the text rather than the main focus.
