Magazine covers

We usually feature sites that are heavy on inspiration for type or poster design. In this post, we feature a selection of magazine covers taken from nascapas. The Brazilian site captures the best magazine covers from around the world, posting up to a dozen different issues a day. Covers often include captivating photos, lively type treatments, and intelligent conceptual illustration. (Plus some funny-looking words from countries that don't talk American.)

Duckpin Goes Duckpinning


The Duckpin Press staff of two has just wrapped up our summer duckpin bowling league. In honor of the workhorse typeface, our team name was the Zapf Dingbats. We certainly lived up to the second part of that moniker. A total of 18 teams took to the lanes, and we finished.... uh, let's just say we didn't finish in the top 17. But when you're out on the town throwin' ducks with the love of your life, who cares what your record is?

There's always next year...
