Discover which designs matter today, according to Jeremy Leslie.
1. 032c: A small Berlin culture title that has caused a storm in design circles with its recent ‘ugly’ redesign. Its use of system fonts and garish colours stand out in a market full of stylised modernism. www.032c.com
2. Monocle: The global business magazine reinvented as a lifestyle title, using a bookish design system that communicates ‘this is different’, while at the same time being unusually understated. www.monocle.com
3. New York: Beautiful typography and info-graphics make this recently redesigned NYC weekly a modern classic, featuring the care and attention-to-detail usually found only in a monthly. www.nymag.com
4. Fantastic Man: Unashamedly gay in outlook, this men’s fashion magazine employs a monochrome lo-fi design that looks back past ‘GQ’, ‘FHM’ and ‘Loaded’ to a time when page designs invested their subjects with a quiet dignity. www.fantasticmanmagazine.com
5. The Guardian: A daily newspaper completely re-engineered to complement its digital presence, borrowing design techniques from websites and magazines to create an era-defining model. www.guardian.co.uk
