The iPad and the internet aren’t the only places where magazine covers can move. The new edition of Wallpaper* (which will also be the first to be on sale on the iPad too) has a lovely trick up its sleeve thanks to a sheet of included acetate. How much better is this than an augmented reality code?

Meanwhile, British surfer (and the rest) magazine Huck celebrates its counter-culture issue with an entirely removable front page.

That’s one of the overlooked elements about digital magazines: they force print to raise its game. More of this, please.
