I saw an issue of a magazine called 'frankie' which promotes itself as
a national bi-monthly based in Australia, aimed at women (and men) looking for a magazine that’s as smart, funny, sarcastic, friendly, cute, rude, arty, curious and caring as they are. We cover design, art, photography, fashion, travel, music, craft, interiors and real-life stories – we aim to surprise and delight readers with every turn of our beautifully matte pages, and have a good old laugh while doing so.
and that's my "issue" (pun intended) - matte paper? Seems a very odd choice for a magazine that features photography as one of its supposed drawcards.

The magazine I saw had some decent photos in it but in my opinion the life was really drawn out of the photos by the matte appearance.

I'd be interested to hear others opinions on this?

Anyone ever appeared in this mag?

Anyone taken photos specifically for matte prints?

Anyone like matte images?
