T Magazine rocks
I was almost a journalist. And love good newspaper design; and a few years back, got to adapt newspaper design to a magazine format. Dream gig for me.
The New York Times Magazine is a visual delight and I’d say sets the standard for what a weekly newspaper magazine can aspire to (Parade, are you listening?). At one of the schools where I teach, the library has a subscription and a nice stack of back issues. They also subscribe to the stylish spin off, T Magazine.
Yesterday, T Magazine posted the best of their 2009 covers on their daily blog. And the day before, they posted the best of 2008.
And their 5th Anniversary issue has just dropped. 5 different covers – by Frank Gehry, Jenny Holzer, Francesco Vezzoli, Jeff Koons and the Starn brothers – plus work by Karl Largerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Stefano Pilati, Alber Elbaz, Miuccia Prada and Nicolas Ghesquière, the latter 5 doing a makeover of actress Carey Mulligan.
