It was total psychic horror: death, decay, dissolution, cold empty black malevolent lonely voided space. It was the worst thing I have ever confronted . . . I understood on an intuitive level why people kill themselves. If I had to go for any length of time with that feeling, I’d surely kill myself.” (‘Infinite Jest’, 1996).

Brrrrrr! this is what’s waiting for you in Lodown 63!

IdN v15n4: we ? infographics out now!

A lot of designers regard the practice of infographics as dull and boring — but this is almost certainly because they’ve never tried it. The 10 we spoke to, and whose work we’ve used to illustrate this feature, love what they do and believe it offers as big a challenge and as great a satisfaction as any other kind of design.

IdN have also published the new book “Pens are my Friends” dedicated to Jon Burgerman’s works.

For the first time ever Jon Burgerman’s commercial, personal and collaborative works are collected together in one lavish publication. Included amongst the many projects are toys, clothing, exhibitions, murals, customizations, sketchbooks and a sick bag.

Accompanying the hundreds of pages of brain melting doodles, drawings, characters and colours are essays by the Pictoplasma team and editor of Modart Magazine, insights into Jon’s working process and, of course, photos of salads.
