Esther Stocker uses simple lines and shapes to create her one of a kind installations. ”Keep in mind that it’s much easier to make something built up, overdone, and clunky, than to make something clean, simple, and elegant.” I wonder if she was inspired by Unknown Pleasures on the first one…

When I was in Toronto this summer, I was in the search for Japanese magazines and discovered one I hadn’t ever seen before, I was used to the Street Jack, Cool Trans, Samurai…among others. But never seen this one before. While I was accustomed to the regular layout pages chocked up of products, fillers, and advertisement, HUgE felt much more substantial as I slowly flipped through its 145 pages to be exact. In other words, they’ve mastered what means to be aesthetically presentable while still maintaining a great focus on the products sharing the spotlight in their features. A person like I, who can’t read Japanese, just wants what is pleasing to the eye, which makes this magazine perfect for me and other fellow foreigners. I think this deserves a spot in my magazine shelf next to my Theme magazine’s and Visvim dissertations.
ps: where else would you see the names tenderloins, margiela, visvim & patagonia all in the same magazine…
Came across a pretty dope blog concept today…It’s entitled React Create, basically: “It’s simple: I react to things I see. Things I like. Cool stuff. Things I feel strongly about… and not just design. Those are posted in the REACT column. The CREATE column is a forum for presenting creative responses or alternative reactions to the things that inspire me. Some direct, some indirect, others more nuanced…” -Dylan. For Montrealers, you might recognize some of his work, through Brakeless’ new t-shirt line with the creative minds behind Sometimes. And for the Beasts, you might remember the 1 off Joy Division Nike Blazer’s he did in 06. All white, custom Factory box, etched JD quotes on the swoosh, iconic Unknown Pleasure album design on the tongue label…
