As a designer, production costs when printing are a huge issue….That is until now. With Blurb, Lulu and others for book publishing, now anyone with a concept can make it a reality. The NY Times Write a great piece on this….

“PALO ALTO, Calif. — For anyone who has dreamed of creating his own glossy color magazine dedicated to a hobby like photography or travel, the high cost and hassle of printing has loomed as a big barrier. Traditional printing companies charge thousands of dollars upfront to fire up a press and produce a few hundred copies of a bound magazine.”
