Response: Graphic Style/Flaunt magazine

I found a lot of inspiration while looking through Graphic Style this week.  Everything was so beautiful and my mind immediately went off in a million directions.  I particularly liked the Modern design section, specifically the pages on Futurism and Constructivism.  I have always been drawn to minimalist designs and geometric patterns.  This applies not only to my magazine preferences, but a lot of the clothing and jewelry I like as well.  You may be thinking... isn't she always wearing boyfriend jeans and sweaters, or that god-awful uniform with the black and gold striped tie?  && You'd be right, but I'm talking more about the items I treasure.

One of the magazines I always am excited to look through is Flaunt.  It's a fashion/culture magazine with larger than life photographs and provocative content.  It's eye candy.   (You'll see this is a trend with me)

Any oversized fashion magazine with beautiful photographs that's a bit risky and scandalous is mine off the shelf.  I can't help it.  I have the same reaction to gold glitter, shoulder pads and the color turquoise.

I took a snapshot of this cover from Flaunt's website.  It's not the newest issue, but the magazine is less than fifteen years old.   This one, from the Bronze Age issue, looks a lot like the examples shown in the modern section of Graphic Style.
Don't believe me?

Of course they aren't exactly the same, but there are definite similarities.  

Here's another example of a Flaunt cover, issue 103:

The old is always being redone and improved upon.  What's completely original these days, anyways?

{Like you haven't heard that one before}

SO, you should all go out and get a copy of Flaunt.

That's all, folks!
