What makes a great magazine editorial package? Is it the design of the book, the arrangement of the content, the multiplicity of entry points? Does it need data-leaning infographics, witty display writing, or an illustrated how-to guide? How do you consider the overall quality of the written and visual pieces with the overall impact the story makes with readers.
These are just some of the questions the National Magazine Awards jury had to contend with as they pored over the impressive candidates for Best Editorial Package, an award generously sponsored by Rolland Enterprises, Inc, an environmentally responsible printing paper company.
On April 20 we announced the nominees for the 40th anniversary National Magazine Awards, and we are excited to welcome Canada’s best writers, artists, editors, art directors, and more to the gala on May 26. [Tickets]
