The niche magazine for the
performing arts community, Backstage, has redesigned its print
publication and website in an effort to stay ahead of its competition and a bit
ahead of the curve—a move that seems to be working, so far..
The
print publication will go from a tabloid size of 11.5 inches by 15 inches, to a
9 inch by 10.875-inch book. The magazine will have an increased paper quality
with a glossy interior and cover stock. According to Amato, readers were asking
for a smaller product so it could be easily transported to casting calls and
auditions.
