Magazines at London Design Festival
What is a magazine? How did we end up with the things we know as magazines today? And how are the most exciting magazine publishers using print to reach readers in a digital age? For this year’s London Design Festival we’re bringing together a group of publishers, historians, and academics to shed light on what it means to make magazines today. It’s all happening on Friday 18 September at the St Bride Foundation, with a day of talks, Q&As, networking, and of course drinks in the evening.
It’s all been made possible with the support of Fleet Street Quarter, and we’re excited to be appearing as one of their festival events. London has played a huge part in the history of magazine publishing, and we’ll be drawing together some of the threads to show how contemporary editors and designers in the city are continuing 300 years of evolution and reshaping our understanding of magazine publishing.
The full list of speakers will be released in August, but space is limited and in-person tickets are just £40 for the full day (or £35 for friends of St Brides / concessions, or £25 for students / low income). So if you want to be sure of your place, book now and we’ll see you in September. And if you can’t make it to London we’re going to be streaming the whole thing, with digital tickets available for £34 (or £25 for friends of St Brides / concessions, or £21 for students / low income).
