DODO

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

The first ever presentation and long-overdue rediscovery of Dodo’s graphic work provides a broad insight into an artistic life that was shaped by constant upheaval. Dodo, born in 1907 in Berlin as Dörte Clara Wolff, enjoyed a care-free upbringing in a wealthy Jewish milieu. Even as a young woman, she possessed an allure over those [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: FOYLES / LONDON

Friday, February 24, 2012

When I was a student at art school in London, Foyles bookstore used to be a regular spot to hit for research, general browsing or simply to escape afternoon rains. Somehow the many floors and corridors and shelves crammed with piles and piles of books always had and still has a soothing effect on me, [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
