Preview the New Ocean Home
June 12, 2009 by OceanHome · 6 Comments
We’ve put together a slide show that previews the changes we’ve been making to Ocean Home magazine. Read the intro on the “From the Editor” page to learn more about these changes. Please remember that this is only a mockup of the magazine and does not represent actual published copy.
Check it out below!
Looks beautiful! The format invites readers to dive into each page. Well done.
Thanks, Diane! We’re looking forward to the next issue.
It’s a nice clean look, and you’ve handled navigation and hierarchy very well. One piece of advice I would offer is to take some of the larger typographic display moments a little further. The section headers still feel a bit unfinished. They’re a little quiet, and the color/single letter device seems a little random. It might work better if the first letter of the section header was roman and a color, as opposed to a letter inside. Also, keep an eye on the use of Archer (your slab serif face). It’s a beautiful font, but it was recently made available to the public after 10 years of exclusivity at Martha Stewart, and its becoming very popular (Newsweek, among others, just used it in it’s redesign). It’s a nice font to have, but you may start seeing a lot of it on the newsstand. Hope this is helpful and best of luck.
Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on our new design. Your insight is very much appreciated. You’ve got a great website, as well. If you have other comments or questions about Ocean Home, you can also reach me directly at editor at oceanhomemag dot com.

Thank you for opening OceanHome’s stunning pages to internet readers.
We at Ikeler Aerospace believe that OceanHome magazine is the exact publication that flying car passengers should be reading while traveling around the world, overlooking all the beautiful oceanfront properties, which you have so eloquently listed.
We give OceanHome magazine a thumbs up rating, and believe that your upscale magazine is a class act that all publishers should follow when trying to attract readership.
Surely, in the future, when mass production begins, a flying car will set right down at one of these homes.
Thanks for the great feedback, Yyvonne! And please keep us posted on any new developments with your flying car. Looks amazing!
