CR Handbook / 360 Magazine

Just a quick post on these two examples that show how I could possibly incorporate some type of page format that allows it to categorise the sections of the catalogue.

Creative Review Handbook 2010
For a book of this scale, it's probably a good idea that it has colour coded tabs that stick out on the side of the pages to help readers get to what they want more efficiently. Something that I could possibly consider for my catalogue, but something that needs to be thought through properly otherwise it'll probably end up looking a bit tacky and actually interfere with the functional side of it.

360 Magazine - China
This is possibly the 1st magazine that I've seen that has the pages de scaling like this to form this intriguing result, which by the way actually made it easier to flick through the pages without missing sections out! Only concern would be the cost of actually producing something like this and the amount of paper that might have been wasted during the process. Possibly something to keep in mind for a client who has plenty of money to spend on print!
