Total redesign and page design, SNDS Magazine www.snds.org

SNDS Magazine
Covers and spreads from the magazine, published quarterly by SNDS - the Society for News Design Scandinavia. Pryds redesigned the magazine in 2005, and has designed every issue since the new design was introduced in March 2006, in close cooperation with the editor, Jørgen Høg.
In the design, very few effects are used, as the purpose is to show the design of news pages, newspaper graphics, websites and other design elements, so the design of magazine itself should be (almost) invisible. Usually 20-28 pages, A4 format, full colour.
