A new domino effect

Somebody handed me the new issue of a magazine called "Domino" (www.dominomag.com) today. I'd never heard of it, but I think it's one I'm going to start picking up. It's a Conde Nast publication that been around for a year from the look of things; and I was surprised at its depth and range, not to mention its practical advice and resources. I am always cautious of these sorts of things. Most of the magazines in this genre exist to house ads for mediocre products and their advice consists of whatever they've been paid to say.

Not so this one. It covers a quite wide-ranging number of layout sensibilities with an emphasis on making matters appear like today. What got me too changed into that every picture within the magazine is annotated with guidelines on where to find the stuff in the image. What a concept. And I mean right down to the paint hues on the wall.

They have a virtually large internet site as nicely, and there is content on the website that is independent from the print model of the magaine. How very new media of them. It's useful stuff too. There is even a calculator tool to estimate how tons paint you may want to paint a room, how much wallpaper to buy if you're searching at a paper task and maximum interestingly, how a good deal fabric to buy before you address re-upholstering a bit of furniture. Too cool! Check it out:
