Little magazines we like: the redesign of Spacing

It's always fun to see a magazine blossoming, particularly when it's a publication that operates on a relative shoestring. Spacing, which is a little magazine we really like, has undergone a redesign that brings a lot of new features and functionality to its pages.

For one thing, it has instituted an editorial page, that allows the editors to discuss topics that don't necessarily fit within their themed issues. And they've added an infographic like the one above, done by Sheridan College illustration students Mike Culhane and Kate Martin-Noyes. Some 60 students were challenged to come up with ideas illustrating what would happen in Toronto if the branches of banks installed green roofs, an exercise from which the published spread was selected.
