Best Designed Independent Press Awards

My friends at Beyond Magazine have been nominated for Best Design at the Utne Independent Press Awards which as you can imagine, is a pretty big deal.

We began by upending the orderly shelves of our library, corralling some 1,300 magazines, newsletters, journals, alt weeklies, and zines into wobbly stacks. Then we dug in to read articles that we might have missed during the year and to reread our favorites—everything from gritty newsprint publications to polished perfect-bound journals. After much deliberation, debate, and a bit of teeth-gnashing, we whittled it all down to 111 standouts.

In case you haven't done so, head on over to Beyond's website and subscribe. Your subscription supports what Utne thinks is one of the best designed independent magazines out there.
