Uppercase: Issue 1
My first issue of Uppercase magazine arrived in the mail yesterday from Calgary, and I have to say it’s definitely the prettiest piece of printed matter I’ve had my hands on in a while. I couldn’t tell you what any of the content is about yet, but I can’t wait to crack a Stella and dive into this thing. From their site…
We’re inquisitive: learning from other artists, illustrators, designers, photographers, filmmakers and musicians, whether they’re upstarts or icons, famous or shy, verbal or visual.
We’re inspired: enchanted by great ideas and strange inventions; by colour and pattern; things fancy and frugal; the charm of vintage in a modern life; the ridiculous and the sublime.
We’re adventurous: traveling to destinations both real and imagined, peeking into creative spaces and discovering magnificent people and memorable places.
We’re eclectic: curating souvenirs, collecting treasures and celebrating the extraordinary in the everyday.
We’re playful: delighting in visual amusements, intelligent distraction, entertaining wordplay and sweet indulgences.
We’re UPPERCASE: a magazine for the creative and curious!
This quarterly magazine is 84 pages of glorious print on paper, 8.75″ x 11″ perfectbound. The Spring issue is shipping now followed by Summer (July 2009), Fall (October 2009) and Winter (January 2010).
