Last week, Lyndy, a fellow student and Houstonian commented on my last post about Lumpen Magazine. Here's what she said:
This magazine looks really cool. I like their design style a lot, but I do wish I could see it from a closer perspective. Some of their stuff reminds me of the magazine I worked for in Argentina.
Well this week on Designing Magazines, Rothstein analyzed this magazine called Acido Surtido. Hmm. Could Jandos possibly be tuning into our thoughts?
Anyway, now I see what Lyndy was talking about. From looking at some of the covers, they are definitely edgy and visual. They use many illustrations and what not I think it's a definite must see. It's a magazine that is funded through the Ministry of Type organization. The name roughly translates as Acid Mix. Their magazine seems to have a lot of illustrations. Their covers definitely depend on an audience that knows who they are because their name isn't ever large on their cover. Which makes me wonder if they sell it on the newsstands?
Judge for yourself about how you feel about the magazine.
This is one of the spreads in their magazine. I have to say that I definitely admire grid designs with color overlays.
Also, there is new site that I found. Many in the design world might know about her bt I just found out about her a few weeks ago. Ever since I discovered the site I can't help going to it every day. She doesn't update it everyday but she has cool tutorials on it that use Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I thought this was definitely something that we could all use for our portfolio websites.
Veerle's a graphic/web designer based out of Belgium and she has tutorials for Adobe programs as well as XHTML/CSS tutorials. It's definitely worth checking out.
