Spin
Spin is based in London and do some amazing brochure and catalogue designs. I like how they can really demonstrate their design over different medias and formats from posters to leaflets. Link to enterprise post.

The Espresso Book Machine
"Library quality paperbacks at low cost, identical to factory made books, printed direct from digital files for the reader in minutes, serving a radically decentralized world-wide multilingual marketplace."
"On Demand Books (ODB) replaces the inefficient and centralized supply chain for the distribution of books – essentially unchanged since Gutenberg – with a radically decentralized direct-to-consumer retail model in which content is fully distributed electronically at point of sale and converted into a paperback book."
I like the tradition of books and am really interested in the high-end printing process of books. I can see how this would be good for small book runs due to the quick production and cost effective nature, but overall I am not too keen! People are arguing about which is better eBooks or this, in my mind they are both second rate compared to a beautifully published book... But on a good note, they are not trying to be.

My Eye is on Fire
I saw My Eye is on Fire at the Book fare and just had to buy one of their hot dog fold screen printed A3 books. This is the one that I bought as I loved the colours and story. the illustrations is amazing. Everything about this I love, from the stock to the size. For my, this is pretty much perfect!

Beautiful Zines... No.Zine is "A self initiated zine project featuring a variety of young artists, writers, photographers and illustrators. Each issue is conceptually centred around its issue number. Curation, management and design. 32 pages, two colours, 148x210mm." Love the use of limited colours and the whole concept. Just wish I was doing it! This Zine actually has a purpose and communicates well... exactaly what Graphic Design should do. His website is pretty sweet too! One of my new favourite designers. I'm gonna be buying these Zines for sure!
