I can’t say enough good things about the bags and DJ equipment that German company Magma makes. DK and I have been using them for a while now and they have the suss to tailor some of their kit to exactly fit the airline baggage size restrictions which mean we can take these onboard when we fly because they fit in overhead lockers. Check out their new catalogue, they pretty much have a bag for every need and they are all customisable with pull out compartments. They also make laptop stands, covers and sleeves, headphone and needle bags and more.
Some very beautiful CD packaging was recently sent to me from the RX:TX label in Ljubijana, Slovenia. It’s a tri-panel CD pack with die-cut windows that show through various layers of card to reveal parts of the CD disc inside as the only colour.
The CD disc is designed so that it can be viewed either regular or upside down and the titles still readable. Depending on which way up you have the disc it changes the colours viewed through the windows on the other panels.
The amazing Augustine Kofie returns to the White Walls gallery in San Francisco next month for a new solo exhibition called ‘Circulatory System’.
I was lucky enough to see his previous exhibition there last year and he has posted two pieces from the forthcoming show here.
Also Kofie makes music as 4×4 Tracktor and he posted a soundtrack to the show
Lovely poster for the forthcoming Videocrash AV gig at the Rhythm Factory in London on Nov 11th, featuring DJ Cheeba plus Tom Central & Cosmo Lopez. Tom also designed this poster and there might be copies for sale on the night.
More gorgeous work from Simon Bent at Volume2a. “Science Vs Delerium is a series of illustrations celebrating some of the greatest scientists in history. The series was created to re-popularise these iconic figures.”
Lovely book on the design of Sainsbury’s Own Label packaging from the 60s and 70s, curated by Jonny Trunk and designed & published by Fuel. Available now through the Fuel shop and coming to a bookstore near you soon.

Amazing work from the tumblr of Volume 2a aka Australia designer Simon Bent.

Going through a couple of recently acquired Mediascene magazines today from the late 70’s and I was struck by how much more imaginatively designed the headers on some of the articles were. A lot of them riffed off of film or comic logo design of the age but were mini works of art in themselves. I’ve included various shots of comic logos from ads in the mags too.

I suppose it had to happen sooner or later, better than the actual original posters too. By Olly Moss, riffing off the Olly Moss ideas of the original trilogy.
Traveling past London Bridge station today I spotted a huge banner of Olly Moss’ Resistance 3 design, two poster designs are below.
And here’s a great little trailer inspired by his designs too

These are pretty old now but lovely nevertheless – classic Olly Moss designs for Star Trek plus newer ones for Source Code and Moon
