not sure if this fits more into textiles than visual communication, also not sure how I feel about a bookcover with ‘electronic beam grafting treatment’- sounds too much like a beauty treatment. but interesting all the same!

The Book Design Review

For all the blog fans: a book design review one. Has some interesting comparisons of UK vs US editions (personally I prefer the UK ones, maybe I’m biased).

Who Killed Nancy?

I was reading the ‘Glasgow Film Festival’ programme and noticed theyre showing a film called ‘Who Killed Nancy?’,  I’m not sure if it’s documentary or by the looks of the artwork- animated?

Anyway, its showing at The Arches on Saturday 21st February alongside a screening of a Sam Taylor Wood short and by the sounds of it they’ll be followed by a live performance by a punk band. Might be a date for the diary.
