Magazine advertising laid bare

An idea as simple as it is effective, One Page Magazine boils an entire issue of a well known title down to its masthead and its advertising, all shown on one page in the exact same position it appears throughout the real magazine.

I stumbled across this one on the brilliant Covers blog – their Brian Eno homage to One Page Magazine is worth checking out too.

And having just read Ben Hammersley’s latest post on ebooks and the future of magazine publishing (highly recommended) I’m glad to see John Paul at Covers is already including metadata in his posts. I think. Spotify links count, right?
