Photography: Class Photos Too Cool for School

Photography   12.15.15   posted by The Editors

The New York Times Style Section just ran an article about the school photo getting a modern makeover in New York.   

"Out: mottled blue backgrounds, awkward poses and ghastly skin. In: professional head shots, full-body action pictures and gorgeous lighting. Kids look like, well, kids, not zombies -- and also a little as if they're in a J. Crew catalog."

Cool for School Photo is doing an amazing job. This is not just for kids, but for everyone.

SPD Q&A: Nathalie Kirsheh

SPD Q&A: Nathalie Kirsheh

Design   12.03.15   posted by The Editors

The December issue of Details will be its last, and that's a terrible thing. Not only terrible for the print industry, but especially bad for the style-deprived men that depend on its scent-filled pages. 

For the last five years, Nathalie Kirsheh has stretched the visual bedrock of Rockwell Harwood into something remarkable. Anyone who's serious about publication design knows Nathaile's work. Her design is some of the most inspirational, forward-thinking, delicate, violent, head-scratching, how'd-she-come-up-with-that type of design that we've all tried to copy at one time or another.  

In the days following the announcement of the demise of Details, we asked Kirsheh a couple of questions about her past and her future. This is what she had to say. 

(By the way check out Nathalie's website, it's pretty great: nathaliekirsheh.com)
