Magazines are dead! Long live the Magazine!

Dead_mags

Ay caramba! Apologies for the slightly late notice on this, but there's a staggeringly good one day conference happening over at the St Bride Library next Friday (25 January).

Magazines are Dead! Long live the Magazine! will explore the past, present and future of magazine design. There's an incredible line up of speakers, including Tony Chambers, editor-in-chief at Wallpaper*; Luke Hayman, design director of New York magazine; Jeremy Leslie, author of magCulture and design director at John Brown; Richard Spencer Powell, creative director at the beautiful Monocle magazine; and Simon Esterson, art director at Eye magazine.

The full programme is available here. Tickets are £60, or £35 for concessions.
