These are the covers of every issue of NoHo Magazine (20 total). Notice the evolution in cover design, including changes in the masthead and cover art. The two four-color covers were designed by a professional graphic designer.
The first issue of NoHo Magazine came out in January of 1993 and the last issue was October, 1994. I like to say that I started the magazine with a good idea and bad credit. As the publisher, I was involved in all aspects of production, design, editorial, distribution, and advertising. My favorite part was guiding the magazine's editorial content. The part a hated the most was hustling for advertising. The result was a magazine that increased in editorial quality throughout its run, but ultimately failed as a business.
When I started the magazine it was a one-person operation. By the last issue, there were over a dozen people involved, including writers, photographers, illustrators, editors, and ad salespeople. I'm very proud that I was able to engage several very talented people in this endeavor, especially considering that nobody was getting paid.
While working on the magazine, I was introduced to the the world of unabridged dictionaries, thesauruses and usage guides by a friend who was a proofreader by trade and worked with me on the magazine. He viewed proofreading as a wonderful puzzle and enjoyed figuring out what was wrong with a sentence and discovering the best solution. I have acquired the same enthusiasm.
