SPD 47: Francesca Messina's Favorite Magazine

Francesca Messina, Senior Group Art Director, McGraw-Hill
Favorite Magazine: Vintage

My favorite magazine? Impossible to name one. But my fave discovery in the past year was Vintage magazine, which gives an obvious nod to the great FLAIR in it's mission statement, to bring "the eloquent voices of today's writers and artists, the impact of history on our present culture. The term "vintage" is used in its broadest sense-- focusing on the excellence of, the finest of things, both in content and presentation". Handcrafted with die cuts, foldouts, and hand-stitched binding, it represents the current craving for handcrafted zines that live alongside the tablet apps that are flooding the magazine landscape.
