I discovered the unusually frisbee-shaped Freestyle Magazine in my favorite bookshop, Athenaeum Boekhandel, on a recent trip to Amsterdam. Focused on fashion, design, art, architecture, lifestyle and frisbees, Berlin-based fashion photographer Jason McGlade created Freestyle for those who share his uninhibited spirit.
In a world of rectangular publications, not only does Freestyle Magazine's circular shape set it apart, but so does its package design. A high quality, limited edition Wham-O sports disc Frisbee designed by a selected artist houses each issue. The premiere issue, a series of copies each sold inside a Frisbee designed by Eley Kishimoto, comes in five colorways. Both the magazines and Frisbees make collector's items for the design-savvy worldwide.
To purchase the magazine, visit the Freestyle Magazine site. See more images after the jump.

The cover of the first revived issue will feature artwork by Kyle Thomas, who...
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...
If CH was ever to go print, we'd like to think we could execute it with the same thoughtful elegance as the semi-annual audio magazine The Journal of Popular Noise, which is why we're excited to be sponsors of the latest issue's launch. This time around the limited-edition (only 300 are made) and letter pressed publication includes Climax Golden Twins, PWRFL Power and Linda...
The multi-format publication Visionaire, one of our perennial favorites, has teamed up with Distributed Art Publishers to create an ambitious bookstore with an expiration date.
