See this: i-D

i-D magazine is one I read often during my study abroad semester in London.  It's another fashion and culture magazine, and I was always struck by their beautiful portraits.  Also, after going to the Tate Modern every month to make sure I saw the lastest issues, I started noticing that each month there were multiple covers.

How curious.
There were four covers for one of the months I bought.   NOT FAIR, I thought.  How could they do that to me?  They know I'm going to want each one of those covers, and there's no way I'm about to spend £50 to get them all.  

Inni, minni, miney, mo.

...and I settled on one with nudity.



Anyways, although I dare not dish out all the money to pay for an international magazine subscription at the moment, I still frequent them online.   To my surprise, the number of covers this February.... NINE.

So much for simplicity.  Less is not always more, people!   


Ahh, 
one last thing.

Since we're discussing logos for our Meredith project.   Look at the i-D logo.

Do you see it?   It's a winking emoticon, and don't think they did that by accident.  Awesome!

  1. Oh, these are quite beautiful. Have you ever see Schon magazine? I can't remember how, but I somehow got signed up for their email listserv and they have a similar aesthetic to these. You would probably love it!

    Can I also request that you bring your copy in to class? I would looooove to see this in person for sure.

  2. Leann, I have never heard of it but am going to take a look now! Thank you. Also, my copy is at home but I'll post a picture of the cover I bought on this post. Good job with the feature! It turned out beautifully, despite all the frustration in the VOX office.
