Yes please.

It seems to be easier to find the 'pot of gold' at the end of the rainbow, than to find this. :~(

Kyle,
are you looking for written style manuals (guidelines) used by publications or more specifically format guidlines for magazine production? Many style guides focus on standards of writing instead of production. Here are a few:

The Economist journalist style guide

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Corporate Style Guide

Links to various sites using style guides or information on starting a style guide.

Yes, I'm old, but I'm back in style guides!

I was actually looking for graphic style guides. The writing guides seem to be easy to come by (simply googling), but standards dictating typography, baseline grids, and graphical treatments are what I am truely in search of.

Thanks, Norbert.

Any luck, Hildebrant?

Nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.Quite discouraging actually.

Norbert, no reply from your friend either.

So, now what?

I would imagine that most magazines would not make these guides public (somebody was paid a lot of $ to develop them). I don't know if you're designing a magazine, if so, go down to your local bookstore and purchase an armful of magazines and study the layouts, grids, etc. I am not suggesting plagarism, or copying, but studying and learning. There are also a number of good books out there on grids, and grid systems, but none that I know of that deal exclusively with magazines.

I spent a lot of time in magazines before I did this type design thing.

Most magazine layout is based on the use of the odd numbered column grid. 5, 7, 9, or the 13 column grid that Willi Kunz made famous. This allows lots of different text column widths for features and departments, while also allowing white space to be managed in a organized way.

Kyle,
I edited out my friend's contact info so he wouldn't be innundated with inquiries other than yours.

Please send me an email of exactly your intent with the information is (thesis? personal education? active project?).

I'll see what I can do but no promises.
You can contact me via the member contact page.

Norbert, Will do.

My appologies if I caused your friend to be spammed.
