material concern

totally head over heels for the design, the look and the whole concept behind SQIRL jams….

there’s a great interview with the owner and creator of the jams, Jessica Koslow, here from LA Weekly

so: style.com is now a magazine.

ummmm: okay i get it, ish?

i like magazines more than websites as far as enjoyment goes.

however, style.com is about the shows, the shots, etc.

but, honestly…the magazine was okay and i liked the insidery internet vibe…ish because with Vogue the insidery rich privileged vibe strikes me as a little…1940s/out of touch/lame/boring.

but do you read Vogue?

The graphic design is very hard to get around: it’s like they hired a grandmother who just got into facebook to design the magazine. or like someone that really doesn’t want things to look nice or even right.

However, with Style.com Print, I guess because it’s Vogue’s internet grab….they made the graphic design all 90′s technology/william gibson-y/johnny mnemonic-y/super weird like your dad who got really excited about fonts.com and the future or something when you were a junior in high school. They use a TECHNOLOGY font for god’s sake. and not even like, ironically.

Vogue: you love all these designers under 35…maybe you could hire a graphic designer under 60, or at least one that understands the internet is a means to information and accessibility not a paradigm of outdated design.
