QUARTO CREATIVE
Covering the Spread
"Covering the Spread: Magazine Design for the Next Age," is a bi-weekly discussion of all things related to our favorite medium: magazines. Hosts Scott Oldham and Louanne Welgoss of LTD Creative — along with some special guests — explore how magazine design has transformed over the decades, both in print and digital. They tackle the eternal debate of aesthetics vs. functionality, discuss the production process from concept to publication, and uncover the business side of design, including working with brands, advertisers, and the shifting economics of publishing. Listen in to turn the page on what you thought you knew, and reimagine the future of publishing.
Louanne and Scott talk about their respective histories as magazine designers, highlighting their educations and early career experiences. They also share introductory thoughts on both the current state of magazine publishing and its future. TRANSCRIPT
