Been: Urbanic Summer Social
Posted: June 14, 2011 Filed under: design, events, paper | Tags: letterpress, Smock, Urbanic Leave a commentIt’s been so busy lately that we barely noticed that it was summer. Thankfully, Urbanic‘s Summer Social gave us a welcome excuse to take the night off and indulge in some absolutely gorgeous prettiness. While we laptop-bound secret agents had neither tan nor pretty sun dress to sport, it was great to get out among the immaculately dressed design bloggers. We thoroughly enjoyed sipping spiked lemonade, making pinwheels, and drooling over Smock‘s new letterpress collection.
Another One Bites the Dust: Goodbye 944
Posted: June 1, 2011 Filed under: lifestyle, media | Tags: 944, magazine, magazine closure, RIP Leave a commentDespite the sadly ironic “now hiring” ad on their front page, 944 announced today that they will be shutting down as of the June issue. As Black Book reports, the magazine has been grappling with legal and financial woes for quite some time. We’re always sad to see another magazine fold for the obvious professional reasons, but beyond that, frankly it sucks to think about all the people affected by this kind of news. We wish the best to all the 944 staffers affected this.
