Typografische Monatsblätter is a Swiss business magazine, dealing with questions of printing and typography. Its frequency was monthly formerly (hence the name!) and it is still in print up to date – now on a bimonthly basis.

“Typografische Monatsblätter” were founded 1933. Since 1952 they are published together with “Schweizer Grafische Mitteilungen” and “Revue Suisse de l’Imprimerie”. TM discusses questions of the developping printing technology, also – and for designers all over the world even more interesting: Swiss designers and especially Swiss type designers were regularly writing in this magazine. The famous type-criticisms of Max Caflisch were released here, Jan Tschichold or Adrian Frutiger were repeatedly writing for TM. Best known Swiss designers were contributing for decades: Wolfgang Weingart, Jost Hochuli, Helmut Schmidt, Hans Rudolf Lutz, Emil Ruder – just to name a few.

Stunning work by German studio Jung+Wenig

Rich Lyons from DesignStudio just informed me they just finished designing the 4th issue of the fashion and photography magazine Centerfold:

We have recently completed the 4th issue of fashion and photography magazine Centrefold, working alongside photographers from Webber Represents, photographer and Editor Andrew G. Hobbs and Guest Editor Georgina Hodson. The work of the 7 selected photographers including Alexandra Catiere, Alan Clarke, Thomas Brown and Tim Simmons was combined with design by us, print production by G&B Printers and paper supplied by GF Smith. This collaboration has created a 64 page publication limited to an edition of 1,000 copies.

Traditionally Centrefold has always taken full advantage of full bleed photography at a large scale to truly exhibit the images. The heritage of the magazine is retained here by keeping it as a loose-leaf publication and reintroducing the dynamic crops of previous issues through the use of folds. By using the folds to create section dividers which contain the titles and credits, we have allowed for an uninterrupted flow of imagery from cover to cover.
