I saw this on thefoxisblack.com while trawling some design blogs for work and thought it was super cool. This sequence was designed by Jurjen Versteeg for his 2011 graduation project as a possible title sequence for a movie that doesn’t exist- a doc about the history of the title sequence including influential designers.
There’s also an article in Print’s August issue about...
So I met Lou Reed...
Maybe it’s not as exciting as that. The Man was at The Strand Monday to read from his new book, his adaptation of The Raven, which he collaborated on with artist Lorenzo Mattotti. He also put out The Raven the album in like 2003, but I don’t think it really got anywhere… The reading was cool, although Harden fell asleep a few times; I don’t know how, Lou threw in a few dry...

Recap: Foodie Weekend
This weekend I had the luxury of visiting (well, mostly) three restaurants I hadn’t been too. For some reason, lately I’ve been obsessed with reading menus online of places I haven’t been too in the East Village area.
I’d been checking out nyag.com which has pretty extensive restaurant listings plus their menus.
