Eye Magazine

One of the more cheering aspects of working on a graphic design magazine is receiving elaborately designed letters through the Royal Mail. When the invoice from contributor Paul Shaw arrived in this envelope last week, it seemed a shame to open it.

You can read two pieces by Paul in the latest Type Special issue of Eye (no. 71 vol. 18): ‘Scale and spirit’ , about size-specific fonts, and his review of the latest edition of Fraktur mon amour, ‘Pink is the new black(letter)’.

Eye is the world’s most beautiful and collectable graphic design journal, published quarterly for professional designers, students and anyone interested in critical, informed writing about graphic design and visual culture. It is available from all good design bookshops and online at the Eye shop, where you can buy subscriptions and single issues.
