Hasta La Ideas

I recently picked up the winter issue, pretty good (only a couple articles in, so far so good).

I’d never heard of it before and apparently there’s a spring edition on the way (featuring work from Parra, Lizzi Bougatsos, and lots of others). A bit steep at $8, but each is hand numbered out of 500 and there’s lots to read. Plus, it’s local! So show some love and grab one. Check their website for locations to buy, and other general info about the mag. I got mine at Black Dog Video on Queen st. west.

We have one Marketplace ad space left open in the launch issue. (The ad is $72 Canadian when you subscribe, or $90 for non-subscribers). You’ll be in fine company with Jen Hsieh, Kyle Reed and Charlotte Sullivan. Please email Janine at info{@}uppercasegallery.ca. UPDATE: claimed by Woodward Design. But there’s always Issue Number Two! Contact us if you’d like to advertise in the next issue, coming out in July.

As you can imagine, I am very busy getting the launch issue of UPPERCASE magazine ready, not to mention a new show opening this Thursday! So for the day’s type tuesday fix, I will direct you over to I Love Typography. I was thrilled to see their mention of our magazine on their fine pages.

Speaking of the magazine and pages, we have so much great content that I am increasing its page count!

The Jen11 book is nearing completion this morning – just working the final files and she’s off to the printer! I’ll be posting some more images from this book later today. You can preorder the book online (or, better yet, purchase an UPPERCASE magazine and books subscription and you’ll receive Jen11 with the first issue of the magazine in early April.) Find out more about the project on the official Jen11 website.

WAD’s an urban fashion and culture magazine that takes a really unique approach to its publishing. Not only have they set up a totally awesome way to navigate older editions on their site, they’ve also reworked how each issue is themed and edited. A guest editor, that is usually a top player in a particular industry (including the head of Ed Banger Records), is given free rein over their own issue. Here
