Computer Arts Feature

December 3, 2010  |   29 Comments »

When I was first getting started in design, Computer Arts was one of my go-to magazines. It exposed me to a whole new world of design beyond the boring brochures, annual reports, and corporate design that many people associate with graphic design. To this day it’s still one of the first mags that I grab when I’m browsing the shelves at Barnes & Noble.

A couple months ago, the editor from Computer Arts Projects reached out to me and asked me to write an article focusing on the Ugmonk 2nd Anniversary Set for their “Launch Your Own Streetwear Brand” issue. It was awesome to write an article for a mag that I’m usually reading. I’m honored to be featured alongside other awesome brands like Benny Gold, The Hundreds, WESC, Suffoca, Zoo York and others. There’s a lot of great insight about the many aspects of launching and running a brand and would definitely recommend checking it out. The issue is already out in the UK and should be hitting shelves here in the US anytime now. You can pick one up at Barnes & Noble, Borders or some other local bookstores.

    Called around to the bookstores in the Louisville, KY area and none are carrying the issue. If you are successful finding some, please us know.

      I found a couple copies here in PA, but already sold them. Make sure to check the “Business” section in B&N. For some reason that’s where they put them at the one I went to. I’ll let you know if I find more.

    Issue 130 (2009) is available in the Zinio app for ipad. Lets hope this issue follows!

      I ordered a copy several weeks ago and received it last Saturday. I was impressed with the care taken to package it for delivery, plastic bagged sandwiched inside stiff cardboard. The issue traveled several thousand miles without incident and made it within100 ft. of my house before the postal carrier folded it and forced it into my mailbox. Thankfully there was only slight damage to the magazine and I am enjoying the read very much.

        Nice. Glad you were able to get the issue. Hope you enjoyed my article.

  • GHOSTOWN THE WORLD WIDE

    read the article, and more importantly, your story and the company mission. in terms of roads traveled, we may as well have been twins. not really, but our stories and philosophies are very similar. i’m crazy when it comes to type and design. your web design is the professional looking prototype that i reference to my HTML Man. soon i’ll be launching with two products and about 300 hundred items (sounds familiar?). look for GHOSTOWN THE WORLD WIDE label and site, coming to a towne near you….
