Colophon 2011

There´s nothing but praise on my side regarding the Colophon 2009 event. As a culture journalist, I found the event very useful for networking and meeting some of the most high-profile alternative magazine designers. I thought the talks were interesting as they provided useful information from an insider´s point of view, i.e. those who work in the magazine industry. If my schedule allows it, I will definitely be attending Colohpon 2011!
