SH Magazine gets a new look

Popular arts & entertainment magazine SH has received a face-lift. The magazine, based in Shanghai (thus the name), is in a hotely contested magazine market which features That's Shanghai, Shanghai Talk, and City Weekend.

The critics at Shanghaiist, however, are not impressed with the changes:

After flipping through a copy of their first issue of the new year (which screamed from its cover, "Like our new look?"), we have to say, the change was a little, erm, underwhelming. We were expecting, as their press release proffered, a "bold redesign". Also, we weren't able to find their classifieds segment, so that appears to be a thing of the past now (to the pleasure of Enjoy Classifieds and Adweekly).

SH is run by Asia City, based in Hong Kong. It has other magazines in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
