It’s not often that I come across a wonderfully designed publication in your everyday magazine shelf. I just picked up the new Elle Collections issue from the local B&N and I’m thoroughly impressed by the layout design, not to mention the bonus color newsprint inset that adds another texture to the lush complexity of the magazine!
It’s refreshing to see major publications take strides into making something so experimental, quirky, and exquisite.

COLORS 84: Apocalypse — A Survival Guide — Hit by a meteorite, wiped out by a pandemic, fried in a nuclear holocaust or frozen in another Ice Age: civilization could end in a hundred ways. Yet the relentless onslaught of disaster prophecies leaves you overwhelmed, exhausted and unsure who to believe. You’ve got Apocalypse Fatigue, but don’t give up. The climate is the hottest it’s been for 1,000 years, and this century will see temperatures rise five times more than they have already, bringing hurricanes, floods, famine and wildfire. So start preparing: build a bunker, secure your energy supply, stockpile food. When mankind throws itself into the abyss, you need to be ready to climb back out.

Laser Magazine is presenting works, artists, ideas, and topics of any kind. Laser light is emitted in a bundled, narrow beam, like we show our inte- rests of these days bundled in one issue. (via Doeller & Satter)
