August 2012 (#203)

I wasn’t in the office when we were sent the mail from Sagmeister & Walsh announcing the new partnership. But I could almost hear the sharp intake of breath from the Computer Arts team from the beach I was on (it’s not that glamorous – I was in Wales and it was raining). Anyhow, my point is that when a mailer grabs your attention like that, it can only be a good thing. And the fact that we’ve been fans of Jessica Walsh’s work since back in 2009 when we named her as our top rising star in design for that year, made it all the more interesting. Read our exclusive interview with both Walsh and Sagmeister in the mag. And in case you missed it, you can see the mailer I’m talking about. A warning though, it does contain naked designers.

Changing the subject entirely, in our cover feature – ‘The Designer’s Cookbook’ – we bring you essential ‘recipes’ that will ‘feed’ your creativity and boost your workflow. You’ll be ‘cooking’ up ‘tasty’ design in no time at all. Anyhow, that’s enough of that, see you next month…
