Southern Innovator Expanding in 2012 | 8 May 2012

Southern Innovator magazine is moving forward for 2012. Issue 1 launched in May 2011 in both its electronic and print versions. The response since then to the magazine has ranged from readers valuing the stories and information profiled, to other readers admiring the sharp graphic design and illustrations. Southern Innovator‘s second issue went online in March 2012 and the print version is slated for release in May 2012 (contact southerninnovator@yahoo.co.uk to get copy orders in early). The third issue is currently in production and issues four and five will also come out in 2012. Contact the Southern Innovator team to find out more about how to sponsor the magazine, advertise in the magazine or to receive copies for distribution.

Issue 2 of Southern Innovator has Launched | 23 March 2012

While it was just an idea in December 2011, Southern Innovator’s second issue has come to life and is now live online (ISSN 2227-0523). Its theme is youth and entrepreneurship. With global youth unemployment levels continuing to rise, fresh thinking of the kind found in Southern Innovator‘s second issue is urgently required.

Southern Innovator‘s second issue has many new features to help readers and make knowledge-sharing easier. The magazine’s design is also closer to the original vision conceived back in 2010 in collaboration with Icelandic graphic designer and illustrator Sólveig Rolfsdóttir.

Issue 2 of Southern Innovator Getting Final Edit | 7 March 2012

Having completed its review in New York, Southern Innovator‘s second issue is undergoing final tweaks and edits before being launched. There will be two versions: one online (the first to be launched) and a second print version to follow. Issue 2 – in its design and structure – is closer to the original vision of a magazine. Readers will find clearer signposting of resources, some new features and a greater mix of story lengths. Those who loved the clear and modern graphics of the first issue will not be disappointed: there is much more eye-catching graphic design in the second issue. I feel like the full vision of what we dreamed about back in 2010 has come to be. And I look forward to hearing back from readers on what they think about Issue 2, while we carry on with Issue 3 and its agricultural theme.

Issue 2 of Southern Innovator Magazine Finished | 6 February 2012

The second issue of Southern Innovator is laid out and awaiting final sign-off. This issue will have a few, significant changes which we hope will make the magazine more useful for readers. This includes a design more closely following a traditional magazine structure – a visual step-change from the first issue. Readers will also find more vivid colours throughout the magazine. An example is below:
