At Barns and Noble

it's so fun and therapeutic to go to the book store, read, and look at all the book cover and magazine designs, photos, and illustrations. Here are a few publications I find very inspirational:
1. bon appetit magazineI'm in love with this magazine.. the design is amazing...simple...clean...beautiful, and the photos are good enough to eat. I think I've actually salivated looking at the photos, as gross as that sounds, but it's true.
yum

2. Fruits

crazy japanese street fashion... what's going down on the streets of japan (though i think this is from an old issue)
...and Finland:
Helsinki street fashion

3. chuck palahniuk book covers are good... obviously

this one is definitely my favorite


4. I just finished reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and I really enjoyed it. it's written in the first-person perspective of a boy from england with asperger syndrome. The chapters numbers are all prime numbers, because he's a mathmatics enthusiast. It's really insightful and really detailed. You really get sucked into his world.
it's nice to look at the world through other people's eyes sometimes.

5. Blankets
a beautiful graphic novel
