wtf? yeah basically tokion is dead now, great. they were actually a pretty alright magazine, but i can't imagine someone doing a better job than ms. cheuk.

they got bought out... hopefully something else will arise with that commitment to and presentation of creativitiy and ideas

I don't know whether this magaizne got better in the last 5 years or worse, all I know is that I don't really care...
I recommend reading a book...

How sad...I'll miss the stylish musings and typographic expressionism I once found so much inspiration in.

Deanne is taking a year off.

taking a year off and going back to tokion?
you see, it wasn't even a trendwhore mag... they hit another angle that other mags didn't have. they went from billionares to broke artists and back again, with an interesting approach to their advertising space, working with nike (the GHAVA sticker spreads) and OUCH, not to mention spearheading the creativity now conference. i think it was much stronger than other mags.

why? its not red

Tokion is a GREAT magazine. good content. As long as they keep including good articles/interviews the art direction shouldn't matter too much.
Wow..... that's a pile of shit. I don't even believe myself. I'd be interested to see what it looks like now with this new change in ownership / art direction.

No idea if she's going back to Tokion... my bet would be no though.
- MLP0
yeah... hopefully she does some new stuff soon. easily in my top 3 favs.

what are you talking about? when a magazine looks as good as it reads, the sum is massive.basically now it lacks any character and uses lots of distorted emo script fonts.
