You hear the phrase 'print is dead' far too often these days, but thankfully for us it isn't. However, there's no escaping the fact that traditional magazines are changing and are now entering the twilight of their years.

The truth is there are much more immediate and cost-effective ways of reaching readers these days than just print, and designers will need to adapt their skills accordingly - maybe not immediately, but certainly soon.
