When people talk about ‘great magazine covers’, George Lois usually comes to mind and his hot streak in the ’60s, with covers like this, and this. But after listening to an episode of NPR, apparently George Lois was full of sh*t most the time. Being an adman he could talk his way out of paper bag so that’s no surprise (but worth listening). Anyway, I prefer to look back to the ’40s when a young Paul Rand was art directing over there.

Also I think I want to work for either US GQ or US Wired. What’s that ‘Secret’ thing where something you want manifests..?

Here’s a solitary spread from the travel issue of Esperanto, out June 1. On Friday we did the first print out, 44 pages, scrambled through the whole thing picking out typos, inconsistencies and what i need to re design. Looking at something on paper for the first time is crazy, all the photos suddenly look duller, type looks too tight, etc etc. It’s a major part in the process, and when magz are only on i-pads i guess we’ll forget this bit.
