Other Edition x Digital Creative Magazines

Digital Media is about to change everything; even more so with the recent release of the Apple Ipad, third party digital media companies are scrambling to debut. Everyone wants first dibs on creating specialized “user friendly” interactive digital media software that will revolutionize the way we read and/or view books and magazines.  The most promising in our opinion is  Other Edition. They are prepared to give us something fresh and new. Instead of focusing immediately on books (plenty of other large corporations are covering and monopolizing that front) they found their own niche… creative magazines (which already have a large dedicated readership/fan base). Other Editon is working to make this digital media available for many forms of hardware including your iPhones, iPads, and macbooks (we’re sure PC capability as well, but we are Mac snobs, lol). Magazines offered in digital format will include Interview, Arena Homme Plus, Wound, and Numero to name a few. They currently have a minimal, well designed splash page with the simple text : ” THE NEW PLATFORM… with the best creative magazines on digital and mobile is coming soon”. We here at CO love it. We found their ad while reading the current issue of Interview magazine. We will keep you posted will the latest and greatest news on Other Edition and may  possibly get you a sneak peek and/or info regarding  their clandestine projects and plans being created there soon. In the meantime visit their site here and sign up for their mailing list. Enjoy!

Is that an Aircraft Hotel?

Excerpt via Freshhome:

“Up for some unusual accommodation? Or perhaps you would like to catch up on your History lessons in an unconventional way. Either way, for today we’ve prepared something unexpected: a plane dating back to The Cold War that was transformed into a luxurious and intimate hotel. The aircraft had a capacity of 120 seats and was recycled and rearranged until it became a comfortable retreat for two. This odd looking suite has it all: an all-equipped kitchen, with furniture that blends in the plane’s wings, a 100% functional bathroom, a reading-room and a bedroom with typical furniture. The only place that was not remodeled was the pilot’s cabin, which is probably for the best, stating the aircraft’s authenticity and not making it lose its true nature.”

Caption This: Cheetahs Play with Antelope?

The Daily Mail recently reported a strange story accompanied  with pictures of a trio of young male cheetahs playing with their “food” on a safari in Kenya’s Masai Mara. The photographer Michel Denis-Huot had this to say “These three brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,’ he said. ‘On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together.At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily. They knocked it down, but then they lost interest”. The cheetahs eventually let the antelope run free. WOW! How funny is that last image? LOL!

Wacom x Intuos 4 x Wireless

 All the digital artists (photographers, retouchers, illustrators, graphic designers) that use Wacom tablets daily can breathe a sigh of relief. Wacom recently announced their latest addition to it’s Intuos 4 tablet line-up… The Intuos 4 Wireless; a professional tablet with all the features as the wired model, but bluetooth enabled, which allows the user to work up to 10 meters away from their computer (which is overkill, unless they have a 100 inch display,LOL). As of now, they only offer an 8″ x 5″ model for $399.We are pleased to see the rapid advances in Wacom’s Intuos 4 series technology after the lack of consistent development in previous models. Get yours here.

Trend for Him: Oliver Peoples x Balmain Homme

 ”IT” fashion house Balmain tapped none other than eyewear maker extraordinaire Oliver Peoples for a limited edition line of shades. This Spring the duo will release the entitled Balmain I shades for approx.$595. Fashion bloggers say they can be unisex, but why would women wear “homme” branded anything? That’s like a man wearing Chanel shades. What do you think..are you buying a pair?

*Folks, this is basically a double post. One for the new Oliver and Balmain colabo and the other because Oliver Peoples shades are making a comeback (Hence all your favorite celebs rocking them…exhibit a: Jay-Z’s current Interview magazine cover).

A Magazine x Riccardo Tisci

Earlier last year Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci curated an issue of the fashion forward A magazine. Below is a video preview of that issue. One of the main reasons we are posting this older material is to use as an example. We here at CO feel that with the birthing of Apple Ipads and similar e-reader products, we should be able to see instant full previews of magazines before we purchase a digital issue, since we no longer have the luxury of time to go to newsstands and flip through them manually (LOL)… afterall, some fashion magazines are upwards of $50. This way we can see the content but not be able to read it, therefore the magazines will still have a selling point. Enjoy!
