It’s not easy to manage a package with this much variety, content and energy. It wants to go off the rails at every turn and it requires a firm hand to keep the pacing under control. The challenge is doubled in an anniversary issue where it’s so tempting to spend the whole time talking about yourself and forgetting the reader just might not care as much as you do about every detail of your magazine. Cottage Life answers both these challenges with balance.
