Creative heroes united!

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Wow. The latest edition of Wired features a masthead and cover image designed by my type heroes, House Industries. The only problem is I generally don’t read Wired or give a rip about its content. But alas, they went out and got J.J. Abrams to guest-edit the “Mystery Issue.” The creator of Felicity, oh yeah, and Lost, is the source of alot of my creative inspiration these days. Did I mention he created (and masterfully wrote several episodes of) Felicity?

If you feel overwhelmed by the “Age of Immediacy” and technology, GO OUT AND GET THIS ISSUE. It’s a keeper. And it won’t allow you to read it quickly. It would make a phenomenal pool-side read for this vacation season.

This magazine, and especially the article written by J.J. himself, pretty much explains the concept I wrote about in this post I made in February of ‘07.
