Monocle
I’m on the 4th issue of my subscription to monocle magazine and i must give it propers. expanding on the
definition and understanding of the term design, mr. brulé and his smart team have shifted focus from visual
porn(as was wallpaper*) to worldly mindset. each issue is so chock full of interesting global affairs (ranging
from political situations to design fairs), it is tough to finish in a month….smartly, the monocle mag is
accompanied by an expansive website, which, if you are a subscriber, expounds on many of the articles
with video content. the site also acts as a wonderful reference guide to slick hotels, restaurants, and must
sees for the global traveler. from a graphic design standpoint the magazine has a unique identity as well.
the paper stock has an impressionable, unique and fitting feel and the dimensions lend itself to handsomely
fit in an attaché as well as urban mailboxes ( i suspect dwellers of major metropolitan centers make up a big
percentage of readership). the layout of the magazine and website are organized for maximum retention of
information, while the font choices and fine line ornamentation keep it from become devoid of personality
or identity. all in all, i am quite enjoying my experience with monocle and find myself getting excited to
check my mailbox at the beginning of the month……
