Hello style gurus, magazine fans and retro lovers,

Dh has been joined by another retro fan who has given Retro Magazine a woman's perspective.

Really keen to hear whether you like it - any feedback appreciated as they are keen to know what works and what needs work.
Feature suggestions are also appreciated.
If you like it, please forward to others who you think would appreciate it - eventually they hope to turn it into a career rather than just a passion!

Magazine: Issue 4

If you a tweeter they are also on @retromagazine

Many thanks!

Well done, a huge improvement!

Areas for development IMO are the page layout, particularly on the 'Inspired' pages- font totally at odds with the ethos of the magazine, and background not doing featured objects justice. I think it would also be useful to reference actual magazines from the sixties and seventies, particularly wrt to interiors- perhaps recreate an original fashion/interior shot?

Also, I think my friend's handbags should be in somewhere Here

saw this earlier, i like it, but retrotogo website does it for free?

Hi SouthEastAstra
Thanks for posting.
Retro Magazine is also free (little concerned where you got the impression it was charged for?)

DH is aiming to offer not just the product snipits (so the Inspire section is along the same lines as Retrotogo's blog) but also the more indepth interviews, features and photoshoots.

Really appreciate you taking the time to post. Thanks again.
