The Magma book series has been in production for nearly two decades, with over 150 titles developed within a shared layout system.

The series was included in Andrew Haslam’s Book Design, highlighting its use of documentary photography and layout.

The approach is based on simplicity — the image leads, the layout supports.
Each new title follows the same structure, allowing the series to remain recognizable over time.

Working on a long-running series like this means maintaining balance between continuity and variation, without over-designing.
