Yummy Cereal

I'm loving my new discovery - CEREAL magazine. A magazine about food and travel, 2 of my favorite subjects.

Cereal is a quaterly publication out of the UK, so you're not going to find it at your local newsstand unfortunately.  I found my copy in a boutique right where it should be—next to a few of my favorite magazines: Gather, Kinfolk, and Diner Journal.  It's part of the explosion of food related indy magazines now gracing the shelves of cool shops around the city. 

Ceral's clean design, gorgeous photography and pretty nice paper stock makes it feel more like a book that you display on your coffee table and keep going back to it over and over.

You can browse the magazine online here or find a local shop that carries it here

 

Hey! Long time no!

Hi friends - sorry for the lack of posts lately. Since I last was here, I have taken on a new job as Art Director at San Francisco Magazine. It has been a pretty busy past few months and a complete change from my previous job as AD at Yoga Journal. I'm getting to work on a big variety of topics: food, fashion, travel, politics, etc. And I'm also getting to work with a bunch of awesome new photographers, and illustrators. I'll tell you more about them soon. In the meantime, here a few of the stories I've been working on.

Anyway, it's been a lot of fun but I have missed blogging, so now that I'm completely settled I can return to bringing you tons of new inspiration. 

P.S. If you're in San Francisco please pick up a copy of the magazine at your nearest store. I promise it is full of great stories, awesome pics and illustrations, tons of restaurant listings, and of course great design. 

P.S.2. For tons more fun inspiration follow my boards on pinterest 

 

Acne Paper, I ♥ You

I'm so loving the Studio Issue of Acne Paper. If you're not familiar, Acne Paper is a magazine (they call it paper), published twice a year by ACNE Studios -- an internationally recognized design collective working in fashion, graphic design, film production, advertising, and product development.

This large format magazine, printed in bright, heavy newsprint, is filled with beautiful photography, fashion, art and interesting profiles and interviews. This issue in particular has a story photographed by the legendary picture editor Bruce Bernard. In it, he captures performance artist extraordinaire Leigh Bowery posing naked for painter Lucian Freud. The level of amazingness of this story completely blows my mind-- a photographer shooting a painter painting an artist. Really, just seeing Leigh Bowery completetly out of drag makes the high cover price totally worth it.

Anyway, you can preview this and previous issues of Acne Paper here, or stop by your nearest international newsstand to buy a copy.

Farm Style - C'est Trés Chic!

See, you should always look stylish even if it's just to go milk the goat!  Seriously tho', I'm totally loving these looks from the latest issue of Bloom. The touches of yellow are so fun, I may just have to run and get a pair of yellow suspenders today.

This latest issue of Bloom magazine, titled "Farm of the Future" is all about, well, farming, but done only the way Bloom can do it--filled with beautiful photos, awesome styling and interesting fashion. To see more of this issue and be inspired click here.

Free Style magazine

My boss recently returned from a trip to England with the best gift a guy like me could ever want - a super cool magazine. She knows I'm a sucker for unusual format magazines and this one here is no exception. The unique circular format is not only fun but it challenges creatives to work in a format they haven't used before.

Only on its second issue, Free Style magazine stays true to its tagline, "for creative people who like to play," by delivering an issue packed with fashion, photography, art, and design that's lots of fun. Also, just so you don't forget to have fun, the magazine fits perfectly on a custom-designed frisbee. My copy came with one designed by Paul Smith in his favorite Pantone 806c pink, and carries the slogan “Take Pleasure Seriously.”

Unfortunately, Free Style is not sold in the U.S. but you can buy it online and also browse their issues here. Enjoy!
