ARCHIZINO MILANO

Friday, January 27, 2012

The idea of a traveling magazine library might not be new, but there are few who pursue this with such vigour as Elias Redstone with his Archizines collection, gathering a rather excellent selection of printed matter on architecture. Previously on display at the Architectural Association and now in the permanent collection at the library of [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: LITTLE WHITE LIES

Saturday, January 14, 2012

One of my favourite magazines out there at the moment is the UK based film magazine Little White Lies which has been around since 2005. Each issue of Little White Lies is themed around a single cover film, inspiring the design and editorial content of the entire issue.
On the cover they always feature an illustration [...]

RADIO TIMES

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Think whatever you may about Tyler Brulé’s stunningly successful imprint Monocle – in terms of building a magazine as a brand with an integrated design agency and a whole roster of commercial collaborations under its belt, it’s become a prime example how it’s possible to combine a quality title with a commercial enterprise and still [...]

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

There is a beautiful kind of manifesto in the first pages of the current issue of 032c, summing up their thoughts and ideas from over a decade of magazine-making, in the usual slightly heady style of 032c, of course. But it’s always refreshing when someone takes a stand, and a beautiful one at that.

STORE OF THE MONTH: FAMILY / LOS ANGELES

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Since we have that arch-American of all genres – comics, as exemplified by Chris Ware – on our cover these days, we thought we should introduce one of our first and most loyal stores in the US this month, with the nice name of Family, which is the place to go to if you’re after [...]

PROTESTER 2.0

Sunday, January 8, 2012

2011 was the year of resistance. After revolutionary movements and occupy waves, it is the protester the Time magazine declares as the person of the year. The accompanying essay by Kurt Anderson gives an interesting insight.

MONO.PUNKT #14: WHAT WE MAKE WITH WORDS

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

This nice exhibition around words – aptly subtitled What We Make With Words – has been going on at Glasgow’s venerable Centre for Contemporary Art for almost two weeks now, but what’s really exciting to us is the adjoining art book fair taking place this Saturday, including yours truly, live and in the flesh. Because [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: BANANAFISH BOOKS / DALIAN

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Anyone who has ever been to China will have experienced how difficult it is to get foreign magazines there, let alone any magazines that are worth the paper they are printed on. This is mainly due to the fact that the distribution of printed matter is still overseen by the Ministry for Communication, and importing [...]

CHINESE WHISPERS 20

Saturday, December 10, 2011

mono.kultur recommended over at the Huffington Post as one of eleven ‘amazing magazines you’ve never heard of’ – us being perfect for ‘culture junkies who want something fresh’, apparently. Sweetie pie.

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: SOME/THINGS

Sunday, December 4, 2011

Some/Things Magazine is a bit of a gem, the kind of publication you only come across once every few years, and then don’t want to tell your friends about, because you want it all for yourself. But since we’re all about kindness this month, we will share it with you.
Some/Things is a lush and luxurious [...]
