I’ve alluded a few times already to the upcoming Society of Publication Designers (SPD) Awards for next year (47th, covering works from 2011) — you’ll probably remember the really funny poster/flyer that was put together (also in this post), and I hope you’re all following the “Favorite Magazine” series that are posted daily, with industry [...]

Just a reminder that if you’re in London, you should really make a point of stopping by the Church of London offices for the MagCulture pop-up store — I love the vinyls they put on the window/door to the entrance (pictured). Jeremy is there most of the time, so good chance to have a chat [...]

The cover pictured in this post is for issue 1, but the second issue of Kinfolk (“A Guide for Small Gatherings”) is on the horizon, and I absolutely love the beautiful video trailer that was produced to help publicize the release (and you can see plenty of Kinfolk-related videos on Vimeo).

What is it with Conde Nast and its apps on iPad? First it was The New Yorker that was constantly giving me a headache when trying to download new issues — something that has, mostly, been rectified since the latest app update — and now it’s Wired. I’ve been trying to download the new issue [...]
