Interview with Erik Madigan Heck of Nomenus Quarterly
(29 June 2009) - 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.

Avedon Fashion: 1944-2000
(11 May 2009) - Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...

Best Magazine Design Finalists
(01 May 2009) - 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...

Kanye West's Complex Cover
