Ok here goes. I discovered these two magazines awhile back and emailed over to their respective editors/owners/founders/etc. and today I come home to a package from the UK. Rip it open and the still fresh scent of the printed page overwhelms me. Print is not dead. Little White Lies "The Where The Wild Things Are Issue" is a treasure. The size is intimate and the mix of uncoated and coated stocks only adds to its appeal. The design is sublime and never overwhelms instead gives way to the content which is beautifully packaged in photography, illustration and rich and poetic typographic treatments. If ever a magazine could be art this one delivers. There is a different read from longer pieces (but not long winded) to short bits that are packaged in easy to digest chunks. The pacing is well-thought out with a predictable grid and format where it needs to be and in places a more spontaneous free-flowing design where it wants to be.... I haven't had time to fully take everything in but look forward to curling up with this gem over the holiday weekend. For more information check out Little White Lies by clicking on this link.
