This Is How You Visualize an Article

Writing that last post about The Daily left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wanted to immediately follow it up with something that made me happy, and so let me point out this brilliant piece of article design I encountered in a recent issue of Bloomberg Businessweek (January 10-16, 2011).

—  

Just over a week ago the latest issue of Wired (September 2010) was released for iPad, and as I’ve done for all issues released for the device so far, I immediately bought it.
