In addition to WaxPo, Monocle is another mag that I’m checking for pretty hard these days. The blend of World Affairs, Business, Culture and Design in each issue is just right for a curious minded individual like myself, and the look and feel (literally) of the mag is unlike any others that I’ve seen before. It’s almost like reading a newspaper in mag form.

Recently, I stumbled across this fascinating, albeit lengthy, behind the scenes essay w/flicks by Dan Hill (Monocle’s former Director of Web and Broadcast) that details that creative process that went into constructing Moncole’s online presence–from layout and fonts, to details on camera types and editing software used for online video production, to podcasts and mobile content, it’s all covered. Definitely worth the read.
