The Hollywood Reporter Relaunch
THR creative director Shanti Marlar takes us behind the scenes:
The mission was to create a large-format magazine (10" x 13") that was glamorous and up-scale but still newsy and informative. The magazine needed to transcend B2B and become B2Influener, could sell on the newsstand and still fulfill the subscribers demands. Think Vanity Fair meets the Economist.
The Hollywood Reporter's website (above)
The Hollywood Reporter, December 22, 2010; 80th Anniversary issue (iPad edition) featuring Halle Berry and Sidney Poitier.

About 2 weeks after that we published the first issue. Tal Leming designed the logo. The magazine is full of info-graphics, charts and original photography. The magazine is more in-depth than the website. The large-format is the perfect stage for our beautiful photography overseen by our Photo Director, Jennifer Laski. Art director, Peter Cury leads the design team every week with his info-graphics, beautiful typography and speedy layouts.The ipad started about 2 weeks later. The ipad is templated and works through a CMS and is meant to be somewhat automated. But of course, nothing creative can be truly automated so we make all of the charts and graphics for the ipad each week. We also create a daily pdf edition that sums up the previous day's news and produce special report issues. Glossy "bookazines" are planned for next year as well.
We are getting great feedback from industry leaders and from the
creative world. We've been working with amazing photographers, Art
Streiber, Lorenzo Agius, Bill Phelps and David Strick. We have amazing
access to world-renowned film and tv talent, creators and industry
executives that it's truly inspiring to be a part of.

Hey! You've probably got some NEW WORK to share, and we want to see it! We'll welcome anything that's gone to the printer recently, something you're especially proud of and think might be inspiring to the membership and readers of Grids. We'll note the credits and the publication and shine a little light on the latest and greatest in publication design.
Please reduce your layouts to no larger than 1200 pixels wide and don't forget to include all relevant credits and a little background (if you feel like). Send your submissions to tips@spd.org and we'll post them as we get them.
