Co-founded by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Mike McCue and former iPhone engineer Evan Doll, and with some serious backing – a reported $10.5m from the likes of Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and popular filmstar thoroughly annoying Punk’d presenter turned social media giant, Ashton Kutcher – and the acquisition of real-time web intelligence startup, Ellerdale, Flipboard is evidently no ‘flash-in-the-pan’, bedroom-produced application, and with a genuine buzz being felt amongst those at the forefront of publishing, it’s certainly realistic to utter that this could be the first major player in revealing the iPad for the game-changer it’s earmarked to be…..

Sepp, Football & Fashion Magazine
Karl Lagerfeld draws Rooney in an unimaginable combination....
June 14th, 2010
Seemingly as disparate as could be, high fashion and football meet in a bizarrely engaging manner in Sepp Magazine, where the beautiful people meet the beautiful game, and where – even more bizarrely – you’ll find Karl Lagerfeld drawing the likes of Rooney, Drogba and Ribery. Beautifully art directed by the brilliant Munich-based Mirko Borsche, the hefty publication – which is printed every 2 years, to coincide with World Cup’s and European Championships – is a must-have for any style obsessed football lover…..

Regular readers will know of our love for the lovingly produced Popshot Magazine and for the wonderfully talented man behind it, Jacob Denno…. and the third, frighteningly good, edition of the magazine that is “gently intent on hoodwinking poetry back from the clammy hands of school anthologies and funeral readings”, does little to disappoint. Packed to the rafters with 50 of the world’s finest poets and illustrators, you can expect some fantastically challenging content in the shape of ejaculation, beating up the Dalai Lama and your grandmother growing her brain… we had mentioned their intent on stripping poetry of it’s tweed wearing history hadn’t we?

VIVmag, Interactive iPad Spread Demo
online magazine hints at the future of publishing....
March 24th, 2010
Whoever said that the iPad wouldn’t change things may well like to take a little look at this ridiculously creative approach to magazine publishing, courtesy of all-digital publication, VIVmag. Along with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, photographer Alexx Henry has created an interactive motion cover and feature spread for VIVmag, with thoughts of the unmistakable potential of tablet technology foremost in their minds. With the imminent launch of the iPad in mind, Henry’s feature spread perfectly demonstrates the breathtaking potential of next-gen publishing… with moving images and interactive content offering a unique appeal to traditional magazine spreads, the prospect of interactive high fashion is certainly one to whet the appetite of even the most ardent iPad denouncer….
Video demo and making of, right after the jump…..
Poetry. It’s not just for tweed jackets. At least that’s what the guys behind Popshot magazine tell us, and who are we to argue when it’s this beautifully presented? Each issue centres around a given theme upon which the poets are invited to write about, said poems are then shipped out to select artists who then illustrate based upon their interpretation of the piece… in these times of fast paced digital technology, what could be more refreshing and creative? Bi-annual, the latest, and only second, edition is based around the theme of ‘us and them’, with observations on the likes of prejudice, hierarchy, class, the rat race and the frightening possibility of being replaced by robots, it’s both a literary and visual treat and is a wonderfully designed reminder that poetry is as fresh and relevant today than it ever has been…. well done guys!
It’s fair to say that we get a lot of junk landing on our doormat, sometimes we’re even missing the fact that the dog used to destroy the mail when she was a pup, it’s simply a pleasure to behold then when something truly inspiring is delivered by the long suffering ‘postie’. That something special is Nobrow Press’ wonderful new biannual illustrated publication which features carefully chosen artists and illustrators contributing work based on a common theme, this time being ‘Gods & Monsters‘. Printed in just 2 colours on a heavy, oversized stock, this debut edition, limited to only 3,000, features the work of 24 talented international designers and looks more ‘design book’ than magazine, meaning that this high quality publication is a snip at a mere nine quid. Expect to see a lot more from Nobrow Press, we for one can’t wait….
Oi Polloi’s ‘Rig Out’ Zine
"Not something for fashion numpters, but for chaps that appreciate good quality schmutter"
June 12th, 2009
Started in 2002 as ‘a reaction to the mass of bland, uninspiring men’s fashion stores lining the UK’s high streets’, Steve Sanderson’s Oi Polloi in Manchester is a pioneer in the revival of traditional British gentleman-type garb with names like Barbour, Belstaff and Nigel Cabourn sitting alongside equally blokey international labels such as Atelier LaDurance, A.P.C. and Lee. Currently being given away in a limited edition with all orders, ‘Rig Out’, a naval term, is a small and well written fanzine produced by the boys at Oi Polloi, with some brilliant design and photography, that gives their customers an insight into their interests, sensibilities and buying policy.
It’s Nice That is one of our favourite design blogs and to celebrate their second anniversary they are launching their first print publication, issue one of their new bi-annual design magazine. Always delivering flawless content from some of the best designers in the world today, It’s Nice That is a must-visit bible for ground breaking contemporary design and features a no nonsense approach to it’s features that they promise to bring to their publication, a magazine they hope will break the mould of traditional design journalism by delivering honest content from a host of designers in this full colour 128 page document.
