This Suffolk magazine design project is on behalf of the The Suffolk Preservation Society. They produce a bi-annual magazine to highlight their campaigns and communicate how we can help maintain the beauty and distinctive character of the Suffolk landscape and it’s historic buildings.
As part of their membership, all supporters receive a magazine, available in both printed and digital form. The magazine covers planning news, the work of the individual county campaigners as well as a huge variety of articles covering historical information and detailed developments impacting Suffolk.
Examples below show the different types of articles that have been part of the magazine over the last 4 years since the initial magazine design work.
The Suffolk magazine design included a fluid three column layout and a colour pallet based around the three brand shades of green. In order to add more colour to the designs, spreads used full colour images where possible and background shades drawn from the main image colours.
Space was included on the right hand page for any accreditation or information about the images and graphs. This allows the layout to be more like a magazine, rather than a stuffy newsletter.
Each publication was included on their website in digital form, including links to all relevant resources mentioned in the articles. The interactive PDF also included page links and an interactive contents section on the cover.
The back issues are all available and prove to be a wealth of information and a living document on how the SPS are fighting any unnecessary changes to Suffolk as the county faces increased pressure from energy producers and developers.
