A brief advert post for WIRED UK, December issue
The other day I said on Twitter that the December issue of WIRED UK was the best magazine I’d ever seen. Well, it’s out in the shops properly today, and manic self-promotion aside (I mean, I was the deputy editor of that issue, commissioned the front section, wrote much of that, and wrote all of one feature and bits of another) I stand by the hyperbole – if the art department don’t win awards for it, for one, I’ll get deeply stroppy. If you’ve not read WIRED UK yet, get this issue – with the yellow, Gorillaz-drawn cover – and settle down for a treat. There’s a free poster, too.
The feature I wrote, from which the picture (by Søren Solkær Starbird) above is nicked, was a long time in the mix: I followed a team from IDEO as they worked on the problems of urban rage. It was a great project to work on – the piece is good, and I now have a fetish for Post-Its and Sharpies like you wouldn’t believe.
Meanwhile, the horribly young and talented Mic Wright makes his WIRED debut this month with the story of the Polaroid revival. He writes here about what happened to him afterwards. Their loss, our gain, I say.
