plasticbag : Dan Hill's written his thoughts on the design process and success of the Monocle website - In the end, I think I'm most fascinated by this piece because of all the things I wouldn't have done and the decisions I don't really understand. Gripping combination of mental exfoliant and moisturiser.
Greg Storey : "I thought I'd pause to reflect on some of the design and strategy choices I made with Monocle" - Must read for anyone in the online magazine business.
Khoi Vinh : Dan Hill: Designing Monocle

plasticbag : Dan Hill's leaving the BBC to run off and work on pretty-much-ideally-perfect magazine multimedia concept Monocle... - I'm sort of jealous in some ways. Everyone's running off across to hybridised media or physical devices, and I'm still with my internets in the middle. Good luck old chap.
