FRMAG Volume 5 - The Travel Issue
This issue showcases heavy use of SangBleu BP, a font from FontShop. I couldn't help it. I just fell in love with it.
This is our fifth issue, a travel issue of sorts. It features travel experiences through the lens of some friends and collaborators selected on the account of their superior coolness - a writer, photographer, product designer, photo journalist, explorer, two graphic designers, and an editor.
This issue also features my studio visit and interview with New York City milliner, Albertus Swanepoel, and footage from The Mommyheads' recent tour of Sweden.
Thanks as always to all the fearless FRMAG contributors and readers, wherever this issue finds you. You keep bringing me back for more.

PBS - On The Media - Crowdsourcing Good or Bad?
July 09, 2010
Does crowdsourcing a logo give opportunities to unknown designers, or take advantage of them? Bob dealt with this dilemma when choosing a cover for his book. So why not crowdsource the book itself? crowdSPRING.com co-founder Mike Samson speaks with Bob.
Listen to the segment here
--
My feedback:
The jury is out on crowdsourcing and FREE for that matter. If you read and follow Jaron Lanier or Douglas Rushkoff, you can clearly see where things are going (and where they came from). A must-read for people not familiar with this issue is an article by Rushkoff which starts with "First they came for the musicians…." and you will realize the consequences of this short-term thinking. A great friend compared this to a hamster eating its young, but it's not too late to change direction -- I firmly believe that the future of the Web is in great design. Great designers do not work for free!

Koko Taylor ft. Little Walter - Wang Dang Doodle
Born Cora Walton on a sharecropper’s farm just outside Memphis, TN, on September 28, 1928, Koko, nicknamed for her love of chocolate, fell in love with music at an early age. Inspired by gospel music and WDIA blues disc jockeys B.B. King and Rufus Thomas, Taylor began belting the blues with her five brothers and sisters, accompanying themselves on their homemade instruments. In 1952, Taylor and her soon-to-be-husband, the late Robert “Pops” Taylor, traveled to Chicago with nothing but, in Koko’s words, “thirty-five cents and a box of Ritz Crackers.”
Thanks to ?uestlove for the Tweet!

Life Inc. by Douglas Rushkoff
Here's a new and clean Vimeo copy of the Life Inc. movie - for your watching and sharing pleasure. Please do me the favor of spreading this message far and wide. I think we've got an opportunity to take advantage of the current financial crisis, and turn commerce into something that benefits real people.

Threads of Peace by Julia White
To keep with the thread of deep tones for peace, my offering for
today is a feature of my threads of peace project in an online mag
called greenermags. Thank you to Will Swofford for initiating this
connection and to Grant Lyons for creating this wonderful way to view
magazines online. It is not the whole piece which is around 50 feet
long, but it shows the essence of the work in the panels that are
featured. You just scroll across the screen with your cursor to view.
