Some of our readers’ workspaces

September 30, 2009 – 8:56 am

Michelle Obama on the cover of Prevention

September 29, 2009 – 3:28 pm

… The November issue of Prevention magazine, featuring Kwaku Alston’s cover portrait of Michelle Obama, has just hit newsstands. And the blogosphere is already buzzing. Kwaku’s photograph highlights the First Lady’s strength, warmth, and beauty yet feels wholly natural, as if he were photographing a friend. The accompanying story is apparently pretty juicy too: Mrs. [...]

The view from Walter Iooss’ window

September 29, 2009 – 9:53 am

… …. You’ll find Montauk at the end of the South Fork of Long Island. To the north is the Block Island Sound, and to the south is the Atlantic. Unlike the nearby-ish Hamptons, it is not a fashionable place. Episodes of Sex & the City were not based there. But it is a mecca [...]

What’s your workspace like?

September 25, 2009 – 8:56 am

… I just read that the November issue of Creative Review will be devoted to the workplace. The question they want to explore is whether it matters anymore where one is based—do you have to live in a big city if you want to make it in advertising or graphic design?

Uwe Duettmann and Mercedes’ wheels of fortune

September 24, 2009 – 12:08 pm

…   … The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss is a limited-edition roadster (only 75 were manufactured) that can hit 217 MPH. And since it has no windshield, I’m betting that one gets a very special rush when driving it. As Motor Trend wrote in a preview of the SLR, the car is a tribute to [...]
