The support for it has been really fantastic. It has a really great community. One of the silver linings actually of the print side going away is the response we’ve had. It’s been fantastic to see. Four years is good, 70 issues... I think we had a really good run.”

There's the magazine for people for the people that want the physical product, which I'd say is definitely the best way of experiencing the magazine as it was. Part of the Raspberry Pi ethos is accessibility and making things available to as many people as possible. Releasing the magazine as a creative commons PDF meant that money wasn't a barrier to reading it.” In FRAME’s 25 th anniversary issue, we look at the five phenomena that will shape shapes in this decade: experience, wellbeing, co-creation, agility and sustainability. We explore why these themes are so important and how they can contribute to spaces that are not only better for people – considering we reportedly spend close to 90 per cent of our lives indoors – but also for the planet. I think magazines are a little bit like vinyl,” Lambie says. “Sure you can have an mp3, you can have Spotify or whatever, and listen to all the music that you want, but there's also something nice about having a physical product. As a result, Lambie isn’t what you’d call optimistic when it comes to the print landscape in general.

Our research shows that shoppers sometimes struggle to understand whether different glasses choices – such as lens coatings – are right for them, when buying a new pair of glasses. A dispensing optician, optometrist or experienced optical assistant will be able to advise you of how to choose the best shape of frame for your prescription, and ensure that the lenses are the best match. He continues: “By the time we had launched, it was only a few weeks after GamesTM and GamesMaster both closed their doors, which was incredibly sad. I absolutely loved GamesTM. It was a bit of a funny time because our hope was that we weren't trying to be the 'all things to all people' games magazine of the 90s or early 00s, where you try and cover all the big AAA stuff. We very consciously focused more on indies, the development side of things and the DIY angle. Enhanced reading glasses work at two reading distances – eg your book (close up) and computer (further away). In its message to readers, the publication said that it was going to be continuing as an online-only brand. It’s early days yet, so there isn’t much that Lambie can say on the matter, but it’s safe to say we can expect more of the same from Wireframe.

Over recent years, we’ve seen countless game magazines shutting their doors. Usually, it’s for the same reason: circulation dropping as a result of people preferring to read coverage online or in video form. As for why it will no longer be releasing a physical edition, it’s much the same story, with some decidedly contemporary twists. Co’ is arguably the most used prefix across the FRAME channels over the past few years. Collaboration and connection are at the core of many recent spatial-design developments: co-working and co-living, for two, while the term ‘co-creation’ has transformed the role of the designer in creative processes from ‘captain’ to (community) consultant. Now, by expanding its collaborative approach across the board, our industry continues its quest to reach a more democratic, community-centric design scene. We also reveal the best- and worst-rated opticians brands . 1. Know the key different types of lens Smaller, round and oval frames give naturally thinner lenses, and can therefore help you avoid paying more for higher-index lenses.The DIY focus is clearly something that Lambie is happy with, but his biggest source of pride when it comes to Wireframe is its focus on indie developers. What that term means really depends on your perspective, but in this case it’s one-person projects. There’s little evidence that most people would see more clearly or comfortably with the priciest varifocals, so many people can avoid trading up. See our advice on choosing varifocals for more on this.

Most of us spend approximately 90 per cent of our lives indoors. Therefore, we believe that better spaces lead to better lives. If interiors help us to work, shop, relax and live better, they will make us happier and healthier. If you’re long sighted (over +2.00 prescription), consider a lens made 'minimum edge surfaced' (thinned). For a prescription over +3.00, consider a 1.67 high-index (thinner) lens, and for over +5.00, choose a 1.74 lens.

Magazine Frames Come in Various Sizes:

The margins on print publications have always been tight, though the increased costs involved these days have meant that it’s simply untenable to produce a Wireframe magazine anymore. If you have a moderate or high prescription, choosing your frames carefully could save you pounds in unnecessary upgrades. For example, a very large frame may well require a thinner (more expensive) index lens than a more suitable size and shape. The big hope is that we keep the same ethos going, just online,” he says. “Hopefully we'll be able to produce a PDF version of the magazine periodically. Nothing is set in stone yet, it’s still all being worked out. That's all I can say at the moment.” Magazines are highly visual creatures both in print and digital publication. That’s why in most commercial magazines, there’s almost always a celebrity looking out at you from under the masthead. While your magazine doesn’t require a Hollywood personality to grace the cover, it would need an attention-grabbing visual. Established in 1997 and based in Amsterdam, Frame is a global platform for all professional members of and stakeholders in the interior-design industry. We're dedicated to exploring what's next in spatial design and are always on the lookout for what's happening on the cusp of innovation and creativity. By way of speaking with newcomers about their fresh visions to learning from seasoned experts and examining business insights that will shape future design practices, we aim to provide our community with a comprehensive perspective on spatial design at large.

That feature story most probably doesn’t look as good as it does without the help of a few friends or colleagues. The collaboration doesn’t have to end there! You may also call out for a few willing design hands to lend you their expertise. Or you can ask your friends to pitch in with their ideas and concepts. The DIY aspect of Wireframe was so important,” Lambie says. “The idea is that you read it as a gamer, but it's telling you over and over again that you can do this, too. It's trying to demystify the various aspects of game design, whether that's narrative or programming or building things in Unity.Each of your team member’s ideas will be given the chance to shine, not only with Canva’s collaboration feature, but also with our wide selection of design elements where they can find a visual form for any of their concepts.

Future-facing, they – like our insight driven digital content – seek to always inspire and educate. In 2017, we established Frame Awards, an initiative that brings the industry together to collectively set the global standard for spatial excellence. In addition, we host physical and virtual events as a means of offering valuable and entertaining learning experiences.
