GOOD Magazine Presentation

GOOD magazine is a quarterly print publication with a great online presence and a strong, verbal community. Contributing editors and writers are often professionals in their fields and passionate about good ideas. The print publication is designed in a way to stress these good ideas with large full color images, layouts with generous space and carefully considered advertisements. Nothing is too obtrusive and the design throughout is consistent. Graphics are particularly emphasized with a variety of illustrations and photographs.—Charis Poon
