Speed Magazine




This is a relatively new magazine to spring up in Bangkok. Because it is new and not pressured by sales figures, it produces some really fresh approaches to magazine design that are lost to western publications. Instead of 30 pages of adverts for couture fashion houses, there are entire pages dedicated to experimental typography, or graphic work. The photography is also rough round the edges which i think makes it more interesting- pretty raw and no airbrushing. Overall i like the fact that the lack of big budget pressure can create an environment that produces a raw and innovatively designed fashion magazine.
