From their start 10 years ago when they hand photocopied an all black-and-white magazine, Beautiful/Decay has come a long way. Never one to rest on old paradigms, the art-filled 'zine is reinventing themselves by narrowing down the production to 1500 limited-edition copies while simultaneously doubling the size of each issue.
The cover of the first revived issue will feature artwork by Kyle Thomas, who is personally hand-drawing every single cover, providing each copy a one-of-a-kind value. Always focused on being a resource tool for artists and designers, the distinct cover is only one reason to collect the magazine.
The 164-page expanded format version, launching 1 July 2009, will feature even greater in-depth articles and include inserts, stickers, posters and original artwork. Subscribe ($40) now to ensure you receive one of the remaining 200 copies.

When the 43rd issue of Visionaire comes out next month it will be the first to use a revolutionary process called laser-cutting. No ink will be used because the images will be etched out of a blank black page. Based in SoHo NYC, Visionaire focuses on art and fashion and is known for pushing the limits of publishing process, presentation and content with each...
by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...
Sisters Anna and Tess Knoebel started Abe's Penny, a micro-magazine, earlier this year as subtle reminder of communication in our pre-digital days, back when receiving a postcard from a friend on holiday was the sole means of keeping tabs on their adventures. More a series of flash cards than an actual magazine, Abe's Penny is a monthly volume of four postcards ($48 for six months)...
The impending fear of the end for print magazines seems to have only inspired publishers to prove everyone wrong by refining and, at times, redesigning their pages. This year's finalists for best magazine design, announced by the Society of Publication Designers—or SPD— are some of the best we've seen. While some of the usual suspects were rightfully chosen—like Wired, W, GQ and Dwell—the SPD's...

Boxill notes in her statement of design, "In honor of the Architectural Review's tremendous legacy we decided to start our redesign journey by looking back through its...
