Fantastic Man vs. Adam Levant

A few months back, I found myself in a waiting area sitting next to a famous graphic designer. This designer, who was formerly a big magazine collector, told me that he hates magazines because, “they all look like, or try to look like, Fantastic Man to me.”

While looking through Antoine bookshop in Beirut last week, I stumbled on “Adam Levant,” a magazine “for the man of the Middle East.” I snapped this shot to show you just how much this attempts to look like Fantastic Man, in both design and concept…guess the magazine cynic was right.

The history of typography

Great video on the History of Typography by Ben Barrett-Forrest. Apparently, it took 140 hours of work, 2,454 pictures, and 291 paper cut outs for the 5 minute animation.

Biennales on the Edge

"[…] the Indonesian city of Bandung, which — again, auspiciously, in 1955 — held the conference at which Asian and African countries that were not aligned with either the US-led capitalist ‘First World’ or the U.S.S.R.-backed communist ‘Second World’ sought an alternative, transversal community of so-called ‘non-aligned’ nations. This was the birth of the ‘Third World’ not as a racialized category of poverty or under-development, as it would become in the First World’s hierarchical imagination, but as a critical geopolitical entity, one based less on explicit ties of solidarity than on shared experiences of decolonization and an insistence on independence from the Russo-American binaries of the Cold War."
