GCM #03: buy now
Gym Class Magazine issue #03 is hot off the press. That’s right ladies and gentlemen… you can now pick yourself up a copy. Yay! It’s 32 pages A5, litho printed black and white (oh, classy).
It’s jam packed full of contributor goodness. There’s an article by designer/blogger Daniel Gray explaining just how expensive a trip to London’s Tate Modern gallery can be; designer/publisher Michael Bojkowski talks to us about aliens, the Australian graphic design scene and the relationship between magazines and the internet (oh yeah, and he’s created a spacey infographic for us too); illustrator Chris Dent gets all alpha talking about his favourite big cities; we get all zine-tastic talking with Zineswap and Fever Zine editor Alex Zamora; designer Stefi Orazi talks to us about what it’s like to live in London’s Barbican estate and her personal work celebrating great architecture (she’s also given us some badges to giveaway); and last, but certainly not least, our guest art director John Paul Thurlow (he created the issue’s uber cover art) chats with us about his love for magazines and his brilliant Covers project.
Pre-order and contributor copies were posted earlier today!
What are you waiting for? Stop by the shop and take a sneak peek at some of the spreads. Nice one. Who knows, you may even decide to drop some coin and pick yourself up a copy.
Oh, and if that wasn’t enough excitement for one day, while looking for John Paul Thurlow’s address to send his contributor copy to, I re-discovered theses working drawings he supplied while creating the cover. They’re lush… and just had to be shared. Enjoy.
