Wonderful work by David Schwen (who’s quite THE graphic designer anyway. Sheesh.)

The latest September issue of Vogue Italia will sure surprises its readers. Sold with a pair of nice 3D glasses, you’ll be able to have a look at the beautiful Miranda Kerr “in another way”. Photographer Steven Meisel sure did a great job with that shoot, and it opens quite a wide range of ideas as to what fashion shoots will look like in the Future. Sadly, for 8% of the population, who like me are 3D blind, all this will stay a beautiful image with blurry edges and nice colors around.  Anyway, beautiful pics to follow, and much much more over here.

A few days ago, I’ve posted a few vintage shots of New York, showing lots of wonderful typography and bright colors — and at the same time, showing a city full of life and people. Stumbling upon this photo serie by Allan Tannenbaum, I was just mesmerized by the other side of the coin. I can’t encourage you enough to take a look at the wonderful article over there at The Selvedge Yard, for it’s a really interesting piece of history.

You wouldn’t even recognize this place back in the 70s… you’d have been tripping over hypodermic needles, and fighting off the hookers back then.  It was nasty, man.”

This work makes me shiver a little with disgust. This photo serie is called “Stop the violence“, and well… It definitely makes you think, even if it’s a bit too literal for me.
