try and catch the 90 second  cigarette commercials done for movie
theatres across europe by design group ATTIK. apparently 30 ver-
sions were produced for various european countries, all reportedly
showing smoking in a positive, cool way…congrats to ATTIK……
reviews: buy ed fellas newest book if for nothing else but the wonderful
cover. the inside photos all suffer a bit being lumped together so uni-
formly, but the cover makes up for it!
also try to read monika parrinders review of steven hellars latest
swastika book, in the winter 2001 edition of the british magazine
THINGS “hellar is part of a group trying selectively to
retain one view of how the worlds morals should shape up” …pg 146
and dont miss the new book from kim hiorthoy, titled tree weekend.
read it. wonderful cover.
stay away from rick poyners attempt at figuring out vaughan olivers
work.(poyner reportedly insisted his name be listed above vaughns on
the cover). the format for the book was an unfortunate choice, and rick
must have had a heavy hand in the design itself , as the book captures
none of the energy, feeling and emotion of vaughns stunningly beautiful
work.  to really see and feel vaughans work, pick up
this rimy river-vaughan oliver and v23currently available from gingko
press.  www. gingkopress.com
check out the new book “magazines that work” ( if only to see which
mags have already folded )
and buy any book chipp kidd designed the cover for.
coming soon: a scathing review of dc’s website by ken coupland in
graphis.
