Typomag: Typography in Magazines
Gail Bichler of SPD writes, “Barcelona-based publisher Index Book recently released TypoMag,which highlights—you guessed it—magazine typography. Curated by editorial designer Laura Meseguer, the book features an international mix of publications known for inventive font usage from current hits like Futu and Elephant to erstwhile titles like Emigre and Suite.”
This is a must buy for any designer. Especially web designers who are finally able to start employing typography with more freedom than ever before.
Dear Leo Burnett, If you want to talk about the size of your pencil then I suggest buying a Hummer and then get to work on designing a real user experience.
In his review of the new Cadillac CTS Coupe Mr. Undercoffler can’t stop talking about the design. “It is a confluence of sharp angles and corners, the work of a design studio at the top of its game. For decades, the neurosis has afflicted the studios of Detroit, causing them to turn out bland, awkward or copycat designs, while their German and Japanese counterparts created strong visual identities unique to their brands. Whether you love it or loathe it, there is no denying that it is bold, brash and uniquely American.”
