Recently in my mailbox I was delighted to find the newest issue of Creativity. Now, sometimes the initial delight can be devasted by a few flips of the pages. This time, however, that was not the case.
I was so excited to see a new page following closely behind the Table of Contents page that contained a dozen printed, colorful and graphic "tabs" that were sticky on one end and could be removed to tag your issue for your favorite articles.
The idea is ingenious! Not only does it allow the magazine to showcase some graphic designers through the designed tabs, it also gives them the opportunity to showcase a print company, while providing a valuable service to the readers (Which are the creative audience) and then it also opens up a new realm of design for the artists.
I’m already trying to come up with a project that I need specialized designed tabs for!
If you don’t subscribe to Creativity, I definitely reccommend it, it’s a great resource to keep your finger on the pulse of design, printing and video. Best of all, it’s a free resource! You can click here to check them out!
Great idea… I wonder how much it costs to actually have them printed/bound into your piece. Usually the greatest ideas aren’t exactly cost effective.
