The future of (interactive) magazines

Sports Illustrated has some very interesting ideas for the future of a magazine. I’ve been following/learning the development of interactivity of the pdf format (via inDesign and Acrobat) but this it something else. (watch at fullscreen for the real deal).

To pubish or not to publish

Looking over my webstats I find myself listed as a contributor in an upcoming Logo2 book by Zexis. Which is nice, although I have some reservations as I submitted work over 2 years ago, possible 3, so I am not sure how indicative of current design trends it can be.
In other news, the talented designer and friend Monique Kneepkens is featured in the soon to be published Form book. More details to follow.

Look what I've just seen

The Vormator book is in store. See more of it here.

Buy this: Vormator released at last

It must have been over 2 years ago that the guys behind the Vormator project sent out their brief. It has just gone on sale so grab yourself a copy and be part of history. Oh, did I mention that my work is featured inside?

Read this: Wikinomics

You might have heard a rumour that I have been hanging about in Malaysia for most of October. It wasn’t all white sandy beaches and cocktails at sunset, I also did some serious reading in between. One of the books I have been pushing on just about everyone I have met since is Wikinomics. If you haven’t heard of it read this. If you have heard of it buy it (although I prefer the UK cover, as it was orchestrated by my friends at We Made This). It is the first book on economics I have read. It could be the only one, but it is brilliant, and while they didn’t predict the current collapse of the stockmarket they are on the money for every other page.
