This photo was on the cover of the December issue of Dazed&Confused. It was part of the editorial shot by Daniel Sannwald, Valentina D’Ettorre of Happy Finish was responsible for the retouching.
The theme of the July issue of Wallpaper is sex. They asked Malika Favre of Airside, to turn her Alphabunnies into an alphabet of lovely ladies. Actually Malika did not just do a redesign of the figurines, but she also did a whole new set of letters, she only kept her favorite the G. You can buy the indivual letters as a limited edition print, but you should also have a look at the animated banner on the wallpaper website.
How did young designers show off their work in the pre internet era? It is so nice to find online portfolios filled with nice projects these days. So here are 2 projects by Eric Ku: CHAIR/CHAIR and “Only Graphic Designers Can See – Magazine, Issue 1″.
Last Saturday was the launch of the German edition of the car magazine Intersection. The first I’ve heard about Intersection was when they presented their Car Covers project. I must admit that I’m pleasantly surprised with the magazine; I don’t read car magazines. Intersection is definitely the most esthetically one I have ever seen. Don’t expect the normal number crunching content, but spreads like the one below shot by Thomas Brown or other art, design and fashion topics … and a lot of cars of course.
John Paul Thurlow wants to create cover art for every great magazine he owns and a few he wished he owned. The source magazines are a jumping-off point – things get added, moved and removed.
These magazine spreads are from the march 2009 Intersections part of the Domus Magazine. The theme are the mechanisms, strengths, frailties and possible scenarios on the eve of Web 3.0. onlab designed these pages, they wanted to create a tactile interaction by the reader. By folding the pages, 2 illustrations by Tobias Krafczyk appear: Miss & Mister Web 2.0. I don’t know if this is a new idea – print is not really my speciality, but it is very well executed.
Here are 2 title covers of Der Spiegel, one of Germany’s leading magazines. On the left you can see the cover from 18 February 2002, it reads: “The Bush Warriors – America’s Crusade Against Evil”. On the right is this weeks cover: “The Bush Warriors – End of the Show”. Jean-Pierre Kunkel did both illustrations, excellent work!
