I've been doing some xmas reading, firstly is a new magazine publiched by YCN called 'ideas illustrated'.

its the first issue and its theme is 'communication', an interesting read with nice pictures, a bargain at £5!
I also picked up this skate magazine in france for a euro (about 60p!)

I love the colourful and playful nature of skate magazine design, and it is definitely an influence on the work I do for dig magazine.
finally, my business cards I ordered returned from the printers!

this is the first time I've ever got anything printed directly, and it was a fun and valuable experience. I choose some 320gsm recycled board to print on, and it looks/feels lovely!
right I need to pop to the shop and get some food in!
more soon, xx
