Ten Things is a collection of magazines, thoughts and ephemera that have been sitting on my desk for a few months while I caught up with deadlines. And apologies about the quality of the photos in this entry.
Dodgem Logic is best described as the brain of Alan Moore as nailed onto a sheet of paper and buried at midnight until it’s ripe. And it’s (mostly) great.

Much praised elsewhere, there’s not much to add about the marvellous Kasino annual, other than its a lovely size and format, and contains all the dry wit and thoughtful quirkiness of their previous publication Kasino A4.

HomeSapiens is a magazine with a built-in lifespan: six magazines (five issues and one special), each themed around different encounters in people’s homes. The first issue is titled Els Chomedians; the others have equally confusingly pun-based titles. It’s far from perfect, but it is worth tracking down.
Like a few other new publications in recent months, issue zero of Kill Screen (“The Maturity Issue”) was successfully funded through Kickstarter.
The first time I heard about its existence, I was excited to read Invert Look. It’s a creation of The Church of London, the non-religious publisher of Huck, and above all, Little White Lies, a marvellous mono-thematic film magazine that’s deservedly forged quite a niche for itself in the film world, and just celebrated five years of existence.
From the moment that the idea was first mooted, 48 Hour Magazine, aka 48HR, got a lot of people talking (including the lawyers). The premise was simple: “As the name suggests, we’re going to write, photograph, illustrate, design, edit, and ship a magazine in two days.”
Created by a team that included a Wired contributing editor, a former senior editor of Dwell, and the founders of user-generated JPG magazine, it worked like this: on the first day, they unveiled the theme, and gave people 24 hours to submit their work. On the second day, based inside Mother Jones‘ offices, they edited, designed, proofed, uploaded. On the third day, they rested. HP’s print-on-demand service MagCloud then did the rest.
48 hours. One 60-page magazine. So how did it turn out?
Every new year since 2006 has meant one thing for fans of infography: a new Feltron Report is on its way.
