do a search for wallpaper magazine... i bet you they have a pretty basic site so you have to go and and buy the real thing. you have to see it on print.

Atta Boy! Im thinking of taking a sub.
you guys are right! they did have a good site, but with lil content, it now looks like its gone (or perhaps under construction).

Them boys definitely lost their direction which, i estimate, was attributed to the regime change that they underwent a while back. Seems liike they're on the road to recovery. This issue is the first one that i've purchased in months.....
"...typographer Paul Barnes has been indispensible in creating our June issue's new look. Liasing with our Creative Director, Barnes has been our consultant in organizing and installing our new typefaces. Two of these - Big Caslon Italix and Amplitude - are unveiled for the first time in Wallpaper* and were designed by world reknowned typeface veteran Matthew Carter and Christain Schwartz, an independent NJ-based typographer, respectively. "

I really like Amplitude. I bought it for the first time in ages too. Sad the graphic doodly bits have gone. Now Wink are doing Marks & Spencer - go figure.

The writing is fuckin naff. It's always been naff. (It was better when it was unconciously naff and not just bland). I reckon Wallpapers's like a flounsy aunt or something, that's nice to visit but hell to have in your own house.
