NEW! 🖐🏼🖐🏾🖐🏽 With a founding date of 1854, is the world’s oldest and longest running magazine. But age has not caused it to stagnate—as they say, it’s ‘not your usual game of picture karaoke.’

The is ’s annual ‘Ones to Watch’ issue, spotlighting the diverse photographic approaches of 15 young talents, spanning collage, documentary, performance and sculpture, while dealing with notions of migration, identity, place, and more. On this year’s selection, editor Diane Smyth writes:

‘...many of these Ones to Watch are questioning the medium, whether decolonising picturing people (Imane Djamil) or applying sheer resourcefulness to image-making (Vuyo Mabheka). As such their work suggests fresh perspectives, from a generation growing up surrounded by photographs and more networked than ever before…’

NEW! 🩶🩶🩶 ‘Design as social practice’

Design theory and community-orientated biannual returns with its fifth issue, exploring its theme ‘Climate Realities and Responses’ from a place of hope, imagination and action, rather than apathy or despair:

‘It is our hope that this issue holds together an array of perspectives on the climate future, explores constructive ways to think about and respond to our changed and changing world and, perhaps most importantly, illuminates the overburdening of marginality under capitalism, and more so under a changing climate... Now is not the time for palliative fixes or isolated corrections, but for overhaul: for redesigning the system in ways we have longed for and dreamed of.’

Featuring insights from Rania Ghosn, Houston Cypress, Alyssa-Amor Gibbons, Avinash Persaud, Leah Thomas, Jeff Goodell and more, with marine biologist and policy expert Ayana Elizabeth Johnson on the cover. Plus, an interactive section revolving around four activities ‘for envisioning and experiencing the eco-future…’ ♻️

NEW! 📱📱📱 A slightly enigmatic biannual from Milan (its masthead this issue embossed on the back cover), the glossy pages of offer a pared back look at fashion, photography and art. Its restrained design mixes tiny typographic gestures with plenty of white space, allowing the images to breath alongside a single interview in the middle—London-based jewellery designer Andrew Bunney for this fifth issue.

While there’s little to glean from the theme of Issue five, ‘La Grande Bouffe’ (aka The Big Feast), you may get a sense of the tone from a small inscription on the spine: ‘Serve hot, like an unexpected slap. Eat more, and then some. Die.’ 💀

Today we introduce Sydney Maggin and Maya Valencia, Parsons graduates who produce Phase Zero, a zine made from submitted work. Instead of using social media, each issue starts with a submissions flyer posted around downtown Manhattan

The result is lively, funny and chaotic with a distinct flavour of seventies DIY zines, and the pair impose enough editorial sense of self to bring together all the disparate submitted art and writing to make each issue a cohesive whole. their seventh issue has just been released

🚧 CAUTION! 🚧 The latest issue of the ‘magazine for architectural entertainment’ is ‘Under Construction’, as announced by the sign on its crisp orange, image-less cover. Following the 20mm hole that punctured the entirety of the previous issue, this edition of feels appropriately modular; each copy’s notched edges are seemingly able to slot into one another (and they do, to an extent) 🪛✨

On the theme, editor Felix Burrichter writes: ‘Few things are more mind-bending than the process of building. During those messy stages of construction, ever wall, column, and floor is anticipated as a step toward completion. But what if the job is never finished?

‘In a world where the illusion of certainty no longer holds, humanity has inured itself to a perpetual state of ambiguity... This issue is by and about those whose minds are perpetually building…’ 🔨

‘The ironically titled Kinds of Kindness is a salacious, sun-bleached triptych in which various people have their lives violently upended by some variety of God-like presence.’ Classic Yorgos.

NEW 🩶🩶🩶 Thick-set, well-regarded photography publication presents multiple portfolios of work from across the world. Printed on different papers alongside interviews and opinions from art-shaped expert people, each edition of the magazine explores a different theme.

This is the MISSING MIRROR issue which explores ‘photography through the lens of ’. A multidimensional project, this (sure to be popular) edition of Foam brings together an exhibition, a digital platform, and chunky, print magazine.

As they explain: ‘Together we look at the growing overlaps between art, technology, and society, exploring how the recent advancements in AI impact our relationship with the image, ourselves, and our perception of reality. ‘How do we form a truthful image of the world when credibility is questioned? And vice versa, how do we recognise ourselves in the images around us?’

NEW! BIG! 📏📏📏 A large-format, printed extension of the weekly design and interiors Substack by David Michon (formerly of Icon and Monocle), For Scale is dedicated to ‘the supreme potential of domestic space’, offering a range of ‘original not-online thoughts’ in the form of three broadsheet newspapers.

You’ll find witty, highly opinionated yet thoughtful takes and on aesthetics, function, design and more, covering everything from the appeal of ‘GLAMOUR BUTCH’ and ‘The Atomic Cloud as Décor’, to a warehouse tour with American designer Kelly Wearstler’s dog Wille and shelf pseudo-theory, all of which are paired with a lo-fi design and full-page adverts (yes, they are real). This first issue opens with Michon’s ‘Manifesto on Décor’, in which he writes:

‘One should understand the gravity of décor, as a home is a site for an enormous range of experiences (S*X, DINNER PARTIES, ALSO POSSIBLY... BREAK-UPs, YELLING, R.E.M.STATE), but also understand how silly it is to rely on one’s home as a foundation for one’s identity. This is why décor is, we posit, universally interesting…’

NEW! 🖤🖤🖤 The literary publication from US-based magazine ju**ie Patrick McGraw, who describes his mag thus, ‘Many people have told me that needs to be explained. That writing a manifesto would bring the magazine great success. The magazine is heavily edited. But it is impossible for every piece to sound the same…’

Designed in monochrome serif typography by Richard Turley and team (, Civilization), the feels fast, spontaneous and very readable.
