• Commented on Cover of the Day, October 26, 2011
  Now THIS is a time I would have loved to look over the shoulder of the Photoshop experts! This cover is wild. Its amazing. Its well done. (And how the heck WAS this done???)...
• Commented on SVA: Off Course Show
  This is NuTz. A lunch hour won't be long enough to spend here. Sneaking out early to spend a coupla hours... (Editor's outta town, what would he know?)...
• Commented on SPD 45: The Design Annual For iPad

• Commented on Blood Sweat and Ink! Creating The Village Voice Comics Issue
  I'm speechless. Really, what can I say? The amount of work that went into this issue is obvious. And the results: fantastic. Hats off to staff and contributors....
• Commented on Joe Newton: Head of Type
  Experiencing some serious type envy here... Love Joe's endless creativity and passion....
• Commented on Cover of the Day, April 4, 2011
  I'm DIZZY! (in a having-so-much-fun-looking-at-this-cover kinda way.) This is fun; this is gutsy. Andrew Horton has debunked my Publication Design 101 rule in class ("the logo must be at the top, so you can see it on the newsstand.") My...
• Commented on Announcing our 2011 Student Design Competition Winners!
  WOW, at first glance I thought I was looking at professional work. Congrats to the winners! You are now ambassadors for Taylor U., OCAD and R.I.T. Your professors should be proud. BTW, this is a small sampling of a lot...
• Commented on SELF-PORTRAIT
  >:- Not being too literal am I? You're right Neil... this could be soooo abstract --- or not. Can't wait to see those submissions!...
• Commented on SELF-PORTRAIT
  We had amazing entries last year! This year's topic is so personal. I can't WAIT to see what comes in....
• Commented on Fast News for February 1, 2011
  This is HUGE. Hearst scooped up Hachette? Does this mean "goodbye" to Hachette Filipacchi? (never pronounced right, but that's Fil-i-packy)....
• Commented on 10 Takeaways from the SPD Judging (Digital Edition)
  This is great DIGITAL DESIGN 101, courtesy of "App. Pro" Joe Zeff. Read and take notes, class. (Don't panic, there's no quiz at the end.)...
• Commented on Should You Work For Free?
  MUST... PRINT... THIS... OUT! Seriously, its great advice [and so TRUE] and too funny....
• Commented on Awesome Advice: <p/>"Don't Be A D*ck"
  Hey Joe, excellent points, I couldn't have said it better myself. As designers, we think its all about the creative work that we can offer. But that's only half of the equation. We need to be great business people too:...
• Commented on Cover of the Day, November 22, 2010
  Totally psychedelic, man. I stared at this for 30 seconds and was transported back to chillin' in the basement — black light posters and ELP playing on the stereo. Beautiful cover, well done! So the big question, Andrew, how on...
• Commented on Cover of the Day, October 27, 2010
  Jane Lynch. Bull horn. Gold lamé. Gold logo. FuN[nY] typography. This is a winner for a bazillion reasons (and DITTO on the "thanks" to no "Photoshop overkill"). Kudos to Deb, Natasha and Martin for a FANtastic cover....
• Commented on Still More Inspiration, or...???
  p.s. hmmmmm. I wonder if the Editor said to the AD: "I want you to do this 'Portland' cover... EXACTLY." (ever have one of those bosses?)...
• Commented on Still More Inspiration, or...???
  Right?! Just turning the head in the other direction would have been a slight variation at least. Jason, you're right about the "exact pickup" being disappointing. It is a great compliment to you that Sacto "lifted" the idea. But for...
• Commented on Happy 20th Birthday Entertainment Weekly, Part 5: Brian Anstey
  Looking at the entire history of EW is so much fun. And I love that each design director has their own creative "signature" during their tenure. I remember the [subtle] change in the logo to initial cap "E" and more...
• Commented on Happy 20th Birthday Entertainment Weekly
  I remember the [subtle] change in the logo to initial cap "E" and more condensed overall. The results were not-so-subtle — they were spectacular. A little can go a long way, right?...
• Commented on The Victoria Advocate's M3 Entertainment Section
  Aaaargh, I am so jealous!!! This work is absolutely spectacular. A newspaper?! Seriously! Now how may I get a copy of that Harry Potter issue for my nephew? (ok, 2 copies... I feel left out)...

  The Penton Electronics Group of Penton Media is interested in starting an

• Commented on Portugal's i Newspaper
  This is a Daily? This is a DAILY???? I wish we could take a tour of this office and see how its done. These designs and graphics are so bold, so conceptual. Impressive....
• Commented on Cover of the Day, Oct. 6, 2010
  WHEW. let me catch my breath here. uhhhh... Right... Comment... SPD blog. Back to Earth. Provocative cover indeed! I especially like the contrast of a racy cover image with cover lines that include "Glee," "DISNEY," and "Wal-Mart," (whom I'm sure...
• Commented on New cover of The Stranger "inspired" by Time
  Is this considered inspiration? parody? are there any copyrights on TIME's cover line? It is obvious that they wanted to [literally] replicate the cover, as opposed to being "inspired" to do something simliar, but different. I'm on the fence about...
• Commented on <i>TENNIS</i> Magazine Covers the Open
  FANTASTIC historical review of the Tennis magazine evolution. Can't help myself but vote for the Oct. 1965 cover... so blatantly sexist and bad that its GOOD. (It makes me cringe and laugh all at the same time.)...
• Commented on Another "Inspiration?" Cover
  Yummy covers...but pretty easy to "make your own" without the duplication. (Did they really have to use a BURGER again?)...
• Commented on NY Mag's Eat Cheap 2010: Splitsville
  I may be a type hound (LOVE that cover!) but if I put those hot lips on my coffee table, guaranteed the hubby will search for a place to take me out to dinner! May we say there's a split...
• Commented on Shoot This Magazine!
  I [heart] shooting targets....
