Hello friends of Scandinavian news design -the first 2009 issue of SNDS Magazine has finally been sent to the printers and will be delivered to its faithful subscribers this week. The 28 pages include a lot of great hype for the Oulu24 seminar, as well as a record breaking number of full page ads – five! – from external advertisers, as well as one for our own "Best of Scandinavian News Design 2009" competition, and a full-spread ad for the seminar. Also, there are the usual thoughtful columns by the chairman and the editor; a three page reportage from the judging of the competition in Billund – including a new extraordinary service for newspapers in need of help on design issues; an interview with a designer who really isn't a designer; we reveal the winners in the Scandinavian "Photo of the Year" contests, and bring you a guide to a 100 ways to work smarter, not harder. Ahm, I think that's about it.Delve into it all – wait for the print issue, or download the final pdf at the (not so) secret url: www.pryds.com/sndsdownloads.Best, Lars
