IdN - Stocks and Finishes

One of the things that I think makes IdN magazine 'good' is the quality, care and consideration that goes into creating it. IdN uses multiple stocks, foils, vinyls and other finishes that are considered to expensive by other publications and I feel these features help to amplify the experience of reading the magazine.
Below I have picked out several pages from different issues and photographed them to try and show the range of stocks and effects used, although it is more difficult to convey the tactile quality and appeal through an image as opposed to holding the publication in your hand.
