NEW LOOK – Model Engineer & Workshop

[mike TParticipant @miket56243]

That front cover photo of two “cho-chos” would not inspire me to buy a copy. There is far more to model engineering than endless ‘steam’ engine articles.

Some are suggesting the purpose of the cover is to attract new and casual readers in a shop. I would expect therefore that someone (Sohara) has analysed sales wrt covers’ subject.
Given that a growing hobby area is gantry style CNC mills and laser engravers I would expect the recent MEW 347 cover to have had an effect. Pity that it was not vetted to find the product was obsolete, but if only they had they could have gone in hard with “Next issue we show you how to make this now that it is unavailable commercially” and this would be a reason for buying the next one.

Hi, well I don’t buy magazines for the front cover. The first MEW I bought was No. 13, and it was the content that interested me, but I do like the No. 13, mainly because most people seem to avoid it. In the street where I was born, there wasn’t a house No. 13, but there was a 12A, with No. 12 being on the left of it, and No. 14 on the other side of the street, and there was only 16 houses in the street, the rest of the opposite side, was back gates to the houses of the next street. When the last MEW arrives, I will have a copy of every one, the first twelve I bought off Ebay, and back issues at one or two exhibitions, No. 2 was the hardest one to get at a reasonable price, as apparently they didn’t print as many as they did the first issue, but it didn’t really cost me anything, because I had to buy about a dozen or so at the same time, which I resold, which covered the the price, even with the postage of the batch to me.

Regards Nick.

“Designer: Druck Media Pvt”. Never seen that company-type before. Where is it based? Does it have much experience in designing covers for technical publications?

I suppose it does not really matter in some ways: a magazine cover is only ink put onto paper (in India in this case) but you’d expect its design to be sympathetic to its subject.

This one looks as if the designers (in Germany) do not really understand the magazine’s field and readership but like to show off their art skills.
