How Little White Lies make Little White Lies

Hot on the heels of their latest Black Swan edition, Little White Lies magazine has produced a short film that distills the two months it takes to complete an issue into one minute and 55 seconds...
The fast-paced edit gives you an idea of the amount of work that goes into one issue, and also a glimpse of the work that didn't quite make it to the final edition (see the various type treatments in the running for the cover, courtesy of Mr David Carson. You can see his final cover for the Black Swan issue on our post, here).
Nice, too, to see a typewriter being put to good use in the production of a magazine.
The film was made over the course of November and December 2010 and edited by production company Archer's Mark. Director Darren Aronofsky's musical collaborator Clint Mansell provided the track, A Swan is Born, from his Black Swan film soundtrack.

That's awesome. I bet they were gutted that there's a typo on the first page.

That's an excellent insight for students into the workings of a creative environment.
The mags not bad either!

I'm a student and it's lovely to see and understand the process! Very intriguing!

It's really nice to see such a great mag in its first stages.

Glad to see it's not just me that sniffs fresh print jobs!

I'd love to see a longer version/doc style and it certainly does make me want to get a subscription this instant. Oh, and I did sniff my copy. Weird but true.
2011-01-28 12:21:47
That's a really nice insight - I'm off to buy a copy now!

I can smell the ink from here. Lovely illustrations and sculptural typography :)

Great magazine, beautifully created and real honest team effort each issue. Love the covers, they should offer them as 'to-buy' artwork. I guess I could use the front covers but I don't want to cut up the issue.

Wondering if you have a longer, more detailed version of this to show more of what goes into a magazine like this? I'm taking a class right now and our current project deals with editorial design. Great work, love the fact that there is so much hand-drawn/created pieces that went into this.

It would be great to a documentary on magazine production. Call it " The World of Editorial Design"..

makes me want to work there.
