Issue 5 preview!


Here is our next cover! Matte Stephens did a beautiful job. This issue is at the pre-press stage, so it will still be a few weeks before it begins shipping.

If you’re planning on subscribing, renewing or even pre-ordering a single copy of issue 5, though, now’s the time! I have to get the addresses to the mailing house by Monday, March 15. Subscribers and all orders placed before then will get the magazine in the least amount of time since they are shipped directly from the mailing house. It is still possible to start your subscription with issues 3 or 4: we will mail these out now and issue 5 will follow separately.

All subscriptions placed after March 15 (whether they start with 3, 4 or 5) will be mailed when we get the physical magazines delivered here in Calgary by early April. Subscriptions starting with back issues will be bundled with the latest issue and everything will be mailed in one package.

Speaking of bundles, Glen and I are still waiting on our bundle of joy, due March 16! Exciting times ahead…

An interview

Janine Vangool – FoGD Show & Tell from Friends of Graphic Design on Vimeo.

 

Last fall, I did an interview with Kate Bingaman-Burt and her design class at Portland State University. They’ve posted the video of the skype call, so you’re welcome to listen in as we discuss magazine design, the history of UPPERCASE and how the magazine is created.

Woos by PetPunk

Un étonnant travail commissionné pour Computer Arts Magazine, et réalisé par PetPunk : un studio composé de 2 artistes freelance, basé à Vilnius (Andrius Kirvela et Gediminas Siaulys). Une collaboration créative à la fois en design, en animation et en motion.

Our next cover artist…


… is Matte Stephens! He’s working on the cover for issue 5 and I can’t wait to see it. Matte’s retro-style and colour palette is such a good fit for our magazine (and he shares a fondness for foxes). The next issue also features an extensive interview with his rep Lilla Rogers. I’d love to work with everyone in her roster!


You can visit Matte’s blog for his current work and links to his shop and exhibitions. And click here for a tour of his home and studio. See even more on Design*Sponge.

(If you’ve purchased a single copy of issue 4 and would like to start subscribing with issue 5, that option is now available in the shop! Issue 5 will be shipping in April.)

So many foxes!


Wow — nearly 40 submissions of painted, drawn, gocco’d and collaged foxes have come in from all over the world! I will definitely need to add some pages to this feature. Unfortunately I won’t be able to include everything, but I’ll post some of them on the blog as well. Above is a collage by Gracia & Louise.

Call for Submissions: Gallery of Foxes


In our upcoming issue, Deidre will be exploring the allure of the fox. To complement the article, I am gathering a “gallery of foxes.” I’ve already invited a few illustrator favourites for their work but am opening it up to our readers! To participate, send us your fox illustrations and inspirations by Friday, February 19. Submissions must be at least 4″ wide at 300dpi to be considered for publication. Label the file with your last name, and submit it here. Please send a follow up email with your full name, address, email and a brief description of your submission. There’s only room for a few submissions! Thanks.
