O.R.D.: Outdoor Retailer Daily

O.R.D.: Outdoor Retailer Daily

Matthew Bates, creative director of the Outdoor Group (which includes Backpacker magazine, among others), took a team of smart visual folks to the Outdoor Retailer trade convention in Salt Lake City to create a daily magazine/newsletter. Along with senior art director Bryan Nanista and photographer Ben Fullerton, Matthew designed and published four daily issues, complete with photo shoots done in a convention hallway on seamless. The first day's cover is pictured above, and the other three are after the jump.

The Coverjunkie Covers Magazine

Coverjunkie, the cool website that features daily updates of magazine covers from around the world, has published a pop-up magazine devoted to the best covers of 2011. It's filled with almost 250 covers, plus interviews with noted publication designers like Arem Duplessis of The New York Times Magazine, Richard Turley of Bloomberg Businessweek, Matt Wiley of Port, Rodrigo Sanchez of Metropoli, and legendary Esquire cover art director George Lois (somehow an interview with me slipped in there, too....they must have needed to fill space.) Coverjunkie mastermind (and talented art director in his own right) Jaap Biemans has created one of the most exciting, brilliantly-conceived, and collectible publications of the year, one well-worth getting your hands on ASAP (and it's only $12).
