In their latest issue, Computer Arts magazine asked a selection of creative pros on their take on the recent magazine redesign, including myself:

Its always great to see a magazine that focusses on design show they understand flexibility and the trends it reports on by applying it successfully themselves. The new design is more open and dynamic than before, and I’m liking the absence of tutorials and in favour of in-depth Projects.

Tom Muller, helloMuller Ltd.

I’ve been reading their magazine since the late 90s, and have seen the magazine evolve over the years, whilst having the privilege of being featured in many of its pages.
Where others have fallen by the wayside, CA has always been able to adapt to trends — not just on a superficial design level — but also more importantly in the content they feature, not afraid to be populist when they needed to be, or stick to a particular design vernacular. And where the design student in me was thankful to read a QuarkXpress tutorial, I’m glad to see the magazine veer away from technical ‘how-to’ subject matter to — what I believe to be much more important — reports focussing on insight and practise.

Screens Foreseen — new work for TV Guide Magazine’s 60th anniversary issue. I was commissioned to illustrate one of their articles that looked back on the evolution of television, and where it might lead — video projection through holograms, massive displays, contact lenses and the likes of Google Glass. Special thanks to Tim Muller for helping out with the render of the 3D head for the final version of the illustration.

Ales Kot: The first sentence that doesn’t hit but instead invites you in, just...:

Ales Kot, with whom I am working on a thing, writes:

I will be posting process stuff - new images, secret bits and pieces. I will be talking about creating stories. I will be connecting things to my life so you can see how everything influences everything else. I will be examining what it means to be a new creator, both as an individual and as a member of the larger society. So expect a new blog to drop every Monday or Tuesday, because it will.

Today’s gifts are the first script and the final lettering draft for Change #1.

Writing this series was exactly as mad, beautiful and scary as I hoped and then some. Morgan, Sloane, Ed & I reworked things as we went along and the final pass often altered what I wrote in the script. The fact that it all came together owes a large debt to our willingness to embrace chaos and work with it.

Microsoft Windows 8 Flash U-turn:

“I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just another tactic to differentiate Windows RT from iOS — an added ‘selling point’ saying ‘if you want Flash sites on the go, buy Microsoft,” suggested designer and art director Tom Muller.
