Small Magazine Wins Big Award

  • July 23, 2001
Conde Nast's new women's monthly magazine Glamour, the UK edition of Conde Nast's biggest selling US title of the same name, has won the gold award for 'Best Designed Consumer Magazine of the Year' at the 2001 Total Publishing Magazine Design Awards, held on 11 July in London, beating off challenges from big names such as the Radio Times, Car, House & Garden and Wallpaper. The magazine was only launched in April but is reported to have already built a substantial circulation, with sales of the launch issue unofficially estimated at more than 550,000 copies. Unlike any of its rival award nominees, Glamour is completely designed and produced using Adobe InDesign, the next- generation page layout and publishing program from Adobe Systems Incorporated. A key aspect of Glamour is its unusual format. At 235 millimetres tall by 170 wide, it's small enough to fit in a handbag, unlike the conventional A4 magazine.
