Layouts I Love • Tarzan 916

Tarzan is a Japanese magazine focused on health and activity. What sets it apart is a focus on fundamentals, excellent art, and energizing layouts that prioritize clear information.

I've been getting decent numbers and reactions to my new project on Instagram and tiktok. I've been getting zero reaction on Bluesky, threads, and Pinterest. Curious.

Layouts I Love • LCBO Food & Drink, Holiday 2025

This is a good spot to mention that I don’t necessarily endorse every product or brand in this series. I’m focused on arrangement, typography, and design.

For print magazines, I'm taking photos from above, bringing them into Lightroom to do edits, then saving them into my template.

Layouts I Love • Letterboxd Year in Review 2025

Letterboxd’s Year in Review (letterboxd.com/2025) is designed so well, I changed my posting schedule for it. Look at this website. It works at any size, but retains a nice vertical rhythm. It has a table of contents! More of that on web pages, please.

Layouts I Love • EGM, May 1993

This was the first video game magazine I ever bought. At ten years old and obsessed with gaming, I was the target demographic. I read every single one of these 183 pages until they fell apart.

Layouts I Love • **frankie 129 @frankiemagazine**

Frankie is like an arts and crafts zine **that** grew up. It’s full of original art, snappy writing, and colorful layouts.

Layouts I Love | Spacing 72. @spacingstore

The Spacing Store in Toronto is a love-letter shop to local artists, writers, and designers. There should be an outpost in every neighbourhood.

Genuine curiosity, what's your favorite magazine growing up, and what if any is your favourite now?
January 6, 2026 at 11:23 PM
I've come completely full circle. My favorite blogs are generally ones that recommend things. And now I'm just reading magazines again, which are just blogs that recommend things next to sponsored content.

But with better layouts.

The Beast in Me is my favourite kind of thriller: tense, violent, psychologically fascinating. The show’s title cards, designed by @arccreative_us, pair perfectly. Fast, unsettling simplicity.

Azure magazine, Dec 2025

After several hours of walking through the impressive 50th annual ooak show, I spotted a stack of Azure magazines on the table near the exit.

Vogue Hombre, December 2025 (www.vogue.mx/moda/vogue-h...)

If you’re ever bored by the look and feel of some magazines, I beg you to just look around at other parts of the world. They’re still having fun out there.

Hanako’s January issue is cat-themed. The whole thing is just about cats. It’s amazing.

I began my first Hobonichi Techo journal this year. It came with a little booklet that shows how you can use it. Just a couple tips and tricks. The front page states exactly like how I’d like to begin this series: “You loving yourself. That’s probably a good start.” #layoutsilove

Starting next year, I'll be doing something different with my socials. I'm going to share more stuff with my friends and family directly, and instead will push out stuff I love in the world of layout design. I hope you like it. 📖

For my newsletter today, I discussed my "pivot to video", what it has meant for my workload, why I think it was worth it, and if I think other writers and podcasters should dabble with video

It also explains why I haven't been posting newsletter articles recently www.burnsnotice.com/the-pivot-to...
