Revolution Magazine re-launch party

So, to London’s trendy Hoxton for the party to celebrate the relaunch of Revolution Magazine, complete with free booze courtesy of the guys at Eyeconomy.

Good bash, and a really good product. Could just be that I’m sensitive to magazine redesigns at the moment (as LBiQ prepares to hit its second year we’re putting our heads together over here as well…) but the fact that at least two of the new regular features in the revamped Revolution also feature on the scrappy bit of paper in my pocket on which we ‘plan’ the magazine struck me as A Good Thing.

There’s also a nice hook here to promote our Issue 4 (focused on ‘The Death of the Big Idea?’) given that Gareth Jones, Revolution’s Editor in Chief has written us a great guest editorial setting out the landscape of the debate. Expect it fed through this blog sometime next week.

And the relaunched magazine itself? In all honesty, I think they’ve done a good job. It manages to convey weight and seriousness while still delivering good, easily digestible short form content - it was also an engaging read throughout my (albeit slightly boozy) cab ride home.

Only one complaint - for the copies at the launch do, could we at least have been spared the advertiser insert tat that falls out of these things when you open them? Annoying on a desk, really annoying on the floor of a bar…
