Digital Mag+?

Mag+, a concept video on the future of digital magazines by Matt Jones and Berg.

“Magazines have articles you can curl up with and lose yourself in, and luscious photography that draws the eye. And they’re so easy and enjoyable to read. Can we marry what’s best about magazines with the always connected, portable tablet e-readers sure to arrive in 2010?”

Magazines going digital as a sign of the times? R.I.P. I.D. Mag.

What do you think?

Ain’t it lovely?

“Shot on location at the historic (and scenic) Glen Echo Park for the Washingtonian Bride & Groom Magazine, My Fair Lady was a two day fun fest. Working with the concept of the “fair queen” we showcased a series of contemporary and classic wedding gowns in a not-so formal (but very memorable) manner. Prior to the shoot we spent over four weeks searching and pulling and building props — we even drove 150 miles to get a swan boat!

Working with limited producion budgets pushed our creative and DIY skills as we are always seeking new ways to enchance our photoshoots/creative. For instance – the stacks of benches, bumper car, and trolley car were all at the park so we looked to ways to incorporate them to the theme. Other props like the oversize target wheel and kissing booth we had to build, paint and assemble on site. And that swan – well, it weighed 300 pounds and we had to maneuver it down a 150ft ravine to get on the waters edge, get the shot, and then get it out of there before it got dark.

On both days we worked from dawn to dusk and had to really push the schedule along to get every possible angle/shot we wanted. In total we had 14 images for the featured editorial – and yes, we prayed to the rain gods to stay away on both days!”

A super fun and not your typical bridal editorial. Download the full catalogue and see it up-close.

Living the dream!

Inspiring story published by the NYT! It’s all about living the dream (this thing you are so passionate about). Read on.

That hobby looks like a lot of work by Alex Williams.

“Ms. Gibran, who is in her 30s, had been selling her hand-knit scarves and accessories on the site for less than a year when she decided last November to quit her day job at a copy center in Atlanta. Thirteen months later, she would seem to be living the Etsy dream: running a one-woman knitwear operation, Yokoo, from her home and earning more than $140,000 a year, more than many law associates.”

Coarse new toys

Coarse unveils their long anticipated ‘false friends’ series, a set of two original vinyl figurines. The design is made by german artists Mark Landwehr and Sven Waschk. They started a distinct style of sculpting that looks almost as if chiselled and exposing the figures out from a three dimensional rock.
