By Chungaiz | Published: April 8, 2010

Jacques: The Sports Issue Trailer, ‘Squash’ from Jacques Magazine on Vimeo. Not sure what should be said. It’s great though! More on Jacques, here, described amusingly as “America’s only new luxury erotic magazine” (similar to Richardson).

FUTU Magazine presentation

By Chungaiz | Published: December 1, 2009

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video FUTU magazine‘s video presentation really caught my eye. Interesting use of graphics and perspective on a traditional format. Also worth noting is the new spiral bound versions of Tank magazine, which no doubt helps cut their costs down, but I think adds to [...]

Huxley, Not Orwell, Was Right About “The Future” (i.e: Today)

By Chungaiz | Published: August 18, 2009
