June launch for swank new international architecture and design magazine

We asked Eithne McCredie of Abacus Circulation about her interesting new gig as Publisher of a new magazine International Design and Architecture (see somewhat related story below) and this is what she told us (adding that she's "very excited" and has been working on this idea for a couple of years):

• The company that owns International Architecture & Design is called GLP Group which is owned by McCredie, Geoffrey Dawe of the Kontent Group and a 3rd silent partner.
• The premiere issue (shown) will be off press on June 20th; 116 pages, perfect bound, printed by Transcon in Owen Sound.
• Distribution will be 50,000 copies to a select list of a strategic partner's client base and the magazine will be available on newsstands.
  
• The team that's producing the magazine is Kelvin Browne (editor at large), Carolyn Kennedy (editor), Alix Johnston (associate publisher, advertising sales) and Maria Musikka (production director). Art director is Benjamin MacDonald.
• Future issues will be theme-based. The Fall issue will focus on "Cities", Winter will be "Resorts" and Spring will be "Country".
  
• They're planning a launch party in September, after they've recovered from...er...the launch.
• Eithne, who is widely known as a circulation consultant, for instance through the Magazines Canada travelling consultants' program, and she will continue to be one.
