Typograph this—
I love posters almost as much as I love magazines so I was pretty happy to find Typo/Graphic Posters that features an ongoing collection of amazing poster designs from around the world. The design of the site alone quite well done and beautiful.

Happy Valentines Day, Mi Amor!
I’ve always been a bit of hater when it comes to Valentines Day—it’s just so forced and commercial…Fortunately, I have a new reason to like the date—for, it was on the 14th I boarded a plane to Mexico City to embark upon what was, truly, the best week of my life. Happy Valentines Day Amor.

Feaverish Photography
I’m pretty excited to report that LA-based photographer, Aaron Feaver, a.k.a
Feaverish Photography (and who’s blog I wrote about a few weeks ago) has
joined the contributors roster for Sloane. We’ve come up with a great photo
essay idea I can’t wait to see materialize…His gorgeously real and
unpretentious portraits below really hooked me.

Designer: Anton Stankowski
I was reminded today of the work of the late Anton Stankowski. A pioneer of Constructive Graphic Art, his creations were always so simple, yet perfect. He also often utilized the Univers font family which has always been one of my favorites.

Skins: Design and Styling
So, I have to admit to being introduced last night to what is (apparently) all the rage for teens in the UK right now: Skins. Watching episodes from season 1 on Netflix with my 14 year-old step son, I was hooked after 20 minutes. The series follows a group of High School students from Bristol, England and covers controversial plot lines that include sexuality, substance abuse, eating disorders and much more. Not only are the story lines and characters well done and funny, but the styling is fantastic—sort of Gossip Girl, meets upper class Brit, meets American Apparel—and way cooler than anything that is on American TV right now, MUCH cooler than anything that was around when I was 14…and, ehem, dealing with issues that surely would never make it past our censors…
Their marketing and design team should also be credited for creating an impressive multi-media campaign including an extensive website and blog, and app.

Page Magazine
It should be apparent by now that I love magazines. All types, shapes and sizes—and, in my quest to develop Sloane I have been hunting more than ever to find inspiration. Check out this great one called Page from Monterrey, Mexico put out by the very talented design firm, Face.
