Offscreen magazine, a Kickstarter project from Melbournites Kai Brach and Jess Murray, is a little over $5,000 short of a modest goal with 3 days left to run on its campaign. Here’s the idea in their words:

Offscreen is a new, quarterly print magazine with an in-depth look at the life and work of people that create websites and apps shaping our digital lifestyle. We want to tell the less obvious human stories of creativity, passion and hard work that hide behind every interface.

The pair plan to print and distribute the inaugural issue regardless of whether they’re successfully kickstarted, and the list of interviewees for it is impressive: Tim van Damme, Dan Cederholm, Andrew Wilkinson, Drew Wilson, Blake Whitman, Ryan Singer, Lisa Bettany, Sam Brown and more.

Visit their Kickstarter page to contribute $25 (or more) to receive the first issue, or subscribe for email/Twitter updates.

Glenn Beck illustrated by Daniel Clowes (via Andy Kelly):

“I was asked by the NYT to draw Glenn Beck for the cover of the Sunday magazine — apparently, he wasn’t going to sit down for a photo-shoot with the Times and so they had to hire an illustrator for their big profile. … I turned in the illustration on a Monday and was told that Beck had in fact agreed to come in and sit for a photo over the weekend, so they couldn’t use my illustration. Thanks for telling me. The back-and-white photo they used was perhaps a bit more complimentary to Mr.  Beck, so I’d say he made a good call.”

Great coverage of type-related updates to both Esquire and Condé Nast Traveler by André Mora at Fonts In Use. Both publications have adopted Commercial Type’s geometric sans Graphik, pairing it with commissioned serif Granger (named for its editor) and the playful swashes of DSType’s Leitura (pictured), respectively.

Big thanks to the folks at Pictory for including my photograph of Auckland harbour in today’s showcase of New Zealand and its many wonders. The McCahon-inspired nameplate above is the work of Christchurch designer Tim Kelleher, and fellow kiwi Kris Sowersby had a hand in the creation of the Meta Serif typeface used to display the local trivia scattered throughout the article.

Stephen Coles:

More evidence that hand-lettering is in: not only is Jeff Bridges on the cover of Esquire UK, so is his typography. The frenetic brushwork is familiar to anyone who has visited Bridges’ website, which has almost no text or type at all. It’s all lettered, written, scribbled by hand.

I think the logo looks great. If they didn’t already have one of the best brands in the mag business, I’d keep it.
