50 Time Saving Photoshop Actions for Enhancing Photos. The Year's Best Magazine Design. The Society of Publication Designers, SPD, announced the finalists for its yearly magazine design awards.
This year's entrants are terrific eye candy. The awards are considered one of the industry's premier laurels. There are too many to list in a single blog post, so we've culled some highlights for you: Blender, under creative director Dirk Barnett, underwent a complete redesign this year, and was shouted out for that effort in the Redesign category, in addition to several section spreads such as this one: David Curcurito also got a section-spread nod, for his work in Esquire: Vintage Gag Gifts at Brimfield Market. An awesome vendor at Brimfield had rescued boxes and boxes of mid century novelties from a Philadelphia joke shop that was going out of business.
I’ll post our own puchases soon. There are tons more photos after the jump for your enjoyment! Apparently being Scotch meant being cheap back in the old days? ZEGELFILM-ENG-HD.
