WEEK #3 // BEST ARTISTIC MAGAZINE COVERS


"A figure by Roy Lichtenstein representing a hand with a pistol. This cover was released after the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. It demanded a legislation about restricting the arms sales."


 "After the horrific incident of 9/11, The New Yorker paid tribute to the victims through this artistic cover.   Ad Reinhardt’s Black on Black art provided inspiration to Franoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman who drew this sketch."


 Billboard Magazine had an amazing cover creating the number of the most influental tweeters with feathers of " birds "


"The latest issue of TAR, a bi-annual art magazine features Kate Moss on the cover as well as what her face may look like on the inside according to artist Damien Hirst."



"One of the most iconic of Art Director George Lois's creations, the May 1969 cover of Esquire juxtaposed the celebration of pop culture while deconstructing celebrity. The image of a drowning Andy Warhol was a friendly spoof of the artist's famous Campbell Soup artwork, a pervading symbol of the Pop Art movement."


by Hattie Stewart

"Fiasco is a monthly print and digital unisex fashion, arts, and lifestyle magazine that has quickly grown in popularity since its first issue. They are always on the lookout for up-and-coming talent and this magazine cover is a perfect example of that. With photography by Phillip Meech, Fiasco commissioned illustrator Hattie Stewart to doodle all over it. Stylist and art director Hope Von Joel is responsible for the impeccable design."


 

Wallpaper* have always been known to impress with their magazine covers and this collaboration with illustrator Noma Bar is no exception. This cover is not a simple illustration but room sets painted in a three-dimensional studio and enhanced with actual products from each of the territories featured in this Global Design issue. Stunning work!


 “Skin Deep,” by Barry Blitt, pays homage to the Norman Rockwell painting “The Tattoo Artist.”

“Mitt Romney looks like he stepped out of one of those pictures. It’s not much of a stretch to imagine him in many of the wholesome, enduring American situations Rockwell painted. The family in the station wagon before and after their vacation could easily be the Romneys and their five sons (with dog overhead). 

It’s also not hard to imagine Mitt in college garb—in one of those Rockwell vignettes—cutting that fellow-student’s hair as his buddies held the boy down.”
“ ‘The Tattoo Artist’ features a sailor with a long list of girlfriends’ inked names crossed out on his arm,” he said. “This seemed like a nice tableau for highlighting Mitt the politician’s shifting positions and convictions.”

WEEK #2 // TOP 3 CHRISTMAS TRENDS 2012

#1 Recycled & Upcycled


Christmas is not always about buying expensive decorations all the time. This year christmas reflect concerns about the environment. 

The best part about the recycle Christmas movement is that there is no limit to it!
It all depends on your imagination and creativity. You can recycle or upcycle almost anything for example you can cut old magazines into Christmas trees, turn a  coke can to colorful ornaments or even turn you old CDs into decoration. 





#2 DO-IT-YOURSELF

Well this trend saves money and boost up your Christmas spirit. Get together with your love ones and  just make you own Christmas decoration. Its definitely goes well with the RECYCLE & UPCYCLE movement.





#3 Colours

Last year purple was in and this year it still is! Together with traditional white and red. You can upgrade purple with gold to give it that extra classy and noble look or combine white with silver. 

Just get your old stuff from the basement and decorate your home and invite your neighbors over to impress them( or make them envy ).

Moodboard from Christmas 2011, but it could have been for  2012 as well.


    
What ever you do, just make yourself cosy at home and enjoy Christmas with your love ones!

WEEK #1 // STUDDED SWEATERS






What Im in love with at the moment are studded sweaters!  In our part of the world it's getting really ass cold outside! So you need to keep yourself warm and cosy. The danger with that is that you don't want to feel boring and not hip anymore just 'cause you're covered in ur wool pullovers. The studded sweaters are a great way to stay warm and be totally on the hipster train looking fantastic.

You can get the black Zara Men pullover which is unisex on top here! The instructions for the DIY studded dip dye greenish sweater are here!!
