I like skateboarding magazines, so while I go through them or hop onto the internet to see articles in the editions I miss, I check out the distinctive designs they tend to have in design. For one, fish-eye lens photography and a DIY look usually fit the bill for these type of mags, and I have to say that skating zines wouldn't be what they are without those elements!
A good example of these are found in Thrasher Magazine and their site. They have a very unique logo, just a simplified graffiti-style type that also curves upward and center. Even skate terminology adds flair to their distinctive look and mag layouts; someone who doesn't really fit into the skater demographic could still get the idea based off of the designs.
Well, I suppose that wraps up week 8's inspirations! Let me know your thoughts, guys! Not to many people posted last week, and I don't want to be greedy and have all this inspiration to myself!! :P
Okay, see you all for next week's inspirations!
