Talk about our Consumption Issue!
How do you think design drives spending, saving, and desire?
"Not since the belt-tightening years of World War II--or the recessive '70s--have we been so inundated with messages about the effects of personal and collective consumption," writes our editor-in-chief, Joyce Rutter Kaye, in her introduction to our special July/August issue: The Consumption Issue.
Subtitled "How Design Drives Spending, Saving, and Desire," this issue shines a spotlight on consumption in some very different facets of life: Caitlin Dover dissects real-estate porn, aka marketing campaigns for luxury condos and how branding firms try, as one marketer says, "to give property a soul," while James Gaddy profiles James Harvey, the now-forgotten graphic designer behind the Brillo box that made Andy Warhol famous.
Emily Gordon reports on how venerable magazines like The New Yorker (est. 1925), Harper's (1850), Scientific American (1845), and The Nation (1865), are creating new online identities. Be sure to read our web-exclusive interviews as well--extended conversations with the editors and designers behind the new newyorker.com, harpers.org, sciam.com, and thenation.com.
What do you think about the websites of these centuries-old magazines? Discuss any thoughts you have from the July/August issue of PRINT here.
