I agree whole-heartedly with Paula. While it seems scary, it is rock bottom. It gives us the opportunity to push back with more creative and personalized responses to editorial challenges. By giving our magazines "perfect typographic personalities", as Dirk put...

Many interesting points - and assumptions, presented here in response to Black's venture. While templates, "FiftyDollarLogos.com"-style websites and the like are on the rise, it's true that these resources will generally be used to fulfill only a certain portion of the market. Worth noting that this market share is all these resources need to justify their existence in a capitalist economy. As someone mentioned above, demand gives rise to supply. So, yes, these publication templates will yield cookie-cutter airline magazine results - but if there's a market for that, then it's fair game (hey, we need something to read on...

Very interesting responses everyone! I believe the â€œstandardizationâ€ of everything creative including innovative thinking at the university level (now run by big business), is an attack on the creative, independent spirit of humanity.

It was always about the homemade cookies made with love they remembered. Thatâ€™s the analogy I am making with the templatesâ€¦someone will always want to buy the boxed cookies because they wonâ€™t want to take the time to...

Thanks Ready-Media, you just set us all back about 10 years. How many of us have fought hard throughout our careers to have beautiful design work shine in mainstream commercial magazines? Or try to explain to prospective clients during a tough pitch why the typography should be a certain way, finessed just so to give a magazine that perfect typographic personality that will make it stand out from all the others? Not anymore. This cookie-cutter approach is absolute anti-design and will kill any exciting magazine design innovation left out there (which is already fast becoming extinct). What a joke, and...
