NMCA
MAGAZINE I was looking through the Nation Magazine Cover Archive and came across a collection of Bazaar magazines. I was surprised to see that they changed a few mastheads into a san serif typeface. I’m so glad they went back to their original serif logo.
Selfridges windows
FINDINGS Selfridges window displays are my absolute favorite. Recently, Selfridges commissioned Wieden + Kennedy to create an A to Z of products of the future to fill its windows. My dream someday is to design a window display of my own!
