Blueprint

If you care at all about setting your peepers on tight, beautiful typography, you will love, LOVE reading Blueprint. It's Martha Stewart's new magazine and it's impeccably designed. The typography is as bang-on as it can be and it's chock full of great ideas for designing your living and work space. I'm a big believer in designers being designers in every aspect of their lives. We all do it anyway. We design our living space. We design our work space, whether it's a tiny cube or a home office. So why not subscribe to a pub or two to get some great ideas? There's no reason not to, especially when you can get your first one free. Run out to your nearest grocery store or Barnes & Noble and at least pick up this month's issue of Blueprint (blue cover with pretty lady in a yellow shirt and gray suede skirt and a little dog on a stool) and leaf over to the "How Suede It Is" article on page 106, (look at what a good little helper I am!) lay eyes on that left facing page of pure typographic beauty and I defy you to put it back on the shelf and walk away. You will not! Not if you've ever even cared a little about typography. Do it.
