Hofstede created a simple and elegant layout for the book, and the light tan pages with orange text is superb. You can see more images at Recollection or pick up a copy at The Narrows.

Page Magazine

I’ve never heard Page Magazine before, but I stumbled upon on it and it’s mesmerized by its wonderful design. Most magazines today are a chaotic mess of advertisements and poorly designed articles, all battling each other for prominence. It’s refreshing to see such a simple and beautiful approach.

The magazine seems to be designed by Mexican agency, Face. There are a bunch of detailed photos of the mag at this Behance gallery.

Process Journal: Edition Three

Posted on December 12, 2010December 12, 2010 Posted in DesignTagged graphic design, magazine, paper, print, publication2 Comments

I just received Edition Three of the excellent design publication Process Journal. It features work from Bibliotheque, Studio Newwork, Andrew Zuckerman, MadeThought, North, Stockholm Design Lab, Büro North and more. As well as articles by Tom Crabtree (Manual) and Warren Taylor (The Narrows).

This journal is exquisite. The quality of the production and design is superb and the publication is an example of why print should never die. The cover alone is to die for: Two color cover with debossing and printed on Knight Cream 350GSM Cover stock.
