Editor’s Letter

To release the issue devoted to publication design is good thing for nowadays. It`s not easy time now: the crisis, changing fashion of design style, development and prosperity of eclecticism in design solutions, offline audience of the magazines relocate to the Internet.

A lot of things happen around us. It`s impossible to look after everything. But the big is seen from a distance. And nowadays situation plays a role of telescope (or microscope?). It is good for us and this issue. And as we understand, it is benefit to each designer and design community in whole. New and more effective layout design solutions will appear. They will be able to fascinate and inspire one`s tired minds. People who lost their work will remove to online and, I hope, it will be to their good.

Economic variants of “interim” journalism (e.g. PDF-periodicals) will become habitual and so trees will be saved. Sentimental talk… Entire revolution took place from times of last [kAk) issue about publication design. Almost all names in design stayed and some new ones appeared. Design blossomed last years and frankly speaking it`s fantastic feeling. It seems a kind of peak which we endeavoured to reach.

The issue is divided in six parts for easy using: you may go deep into the theme. We are a bit sorry that not all of participants could were a part of the issue. But we are lucky – something left for us only.
