If you’re interested in the blogosphere, you have no doubt heard about Syntagma Media. The owner John Evans has spoken extensively about his upcoming magazine concept.
Well, it’s here, and I did it for him.
Introducing the first version of Allusionz, the network magazine within the Syntagma Network. Take a look, and read John’s launch post over at the Syntagma blog.
I first spoke to John about the Allusionz project after the interview over at Bloggertalks. He liked the design of the site, and after a few mails back and forth he hired me for Allusionz. I’ll also do the upcoming magazines, which of course build upon the same platform.
I can’t wait to see the reactions in the blogosphere. If all else, it’s a huge step from what I guess people would expect from Syntagma, knowing their design history.
Speaking of design, I just published a new interview over at Bloggertalks, with überdesigner Chris Pearson. Interesting read if you ask me.
Now I’m off for a full 24 hours or so, heading for a Slayer concert and intake of beer. I can’t wait to check the inbox as well as the feed reader.
Oh, by the way. I am for hire, and have dedicated a page about it. Don’t be a stranger.


Well done, Thord. I’m delighted with what you’ve produced for us at Syntagma Media.
Up till now, we’ve been a Henry Ford kind of operator : “You can have any colour so long as it’s black” - or in our case multi-hued. Now we have a sleek Swedish design. To say we’re thrilled would be an understatement, but very British.
This was a really good design! Nice clash with the otherwise crappy Syntgma site designs. Sorry John.
Thanks for the kind words, John, and Baron as well. It’s a really fun project so let’s hope it does well!
Baron, you’re forgiven. Thord is going to have a go at that template after Christmas. Happy days!
This is really nice. I’m truly impressed!
