LA magazine



Not as robust online as the NY Times or T magazine for that matter but the LA Times Magazine online is still a worthy effort.

Brand Warriors


You can't hit a homerun with every product. Even Apple misses. Out of the gate Apple TV was a promising venture but never quite lived up the the Apple bar. In terms of brand experience I didn't ever feel I was getting more for my loyalty to the brand. The brand experience of the newly released update finally meets and exceeds the brand experience we all have come to expect from our favorite personal computer brand.

So you want to be an architect?

Handwriting as Concept



I get it. Handwriting is cool again. Authentic. Analog in a digital world. But I think this
feature that is up and running on spd.org on a magazine article that utilizes handwriting
as a design concept fails because it goes both too far and not far enough. The opener
really just utilizes photography and standard serif typography and the cute display
copy "mercury rising" doesn't really have a connection to the subsequent pages where the
handwriting concept really takes off... There is too much going on in the following spreads and
the handwriting is all over the place and goes overboard.

Interesting story on how a very talented individual uses the art of story to create a narrative for homes looking for a new owner and a fresh start. Always intrigued by how we always tend to lean on "story" to create an authentic
experience for people..
