AJ gets a face for the '90s; the Architects' Journal has a fresh new design next week

Article Abstract:

The Architect's Journal (AJ) has been redesigned by Mike Lackersteen. Lackersteen, a leading magazine designer, appreciated the good briefing he was given by the editor, Stephen Greenberg and approached the design with regard to the nature of the journal and its readers. The AJ invested in market research and the redesign has been accompanied by a change in editorial policy. The magazine will be more practical and the new layout with modern typefaces and strong visual impact will be easier to read.

Article Abstract:

The building took eight months and cost 75,000 pounds sterling.
