It’s here – check it out in all good retailers next week, or this weekend at the Jashanmal pop-up store at Art Dubai.
Edit: Here is me talking about the book on Business Breakfast on Dubai Eye. And here is a feature on the book in Gulf Today. More coverage to come.
One of the best covers we have done for Open Skies, courtesy of Filip Peraic. The story, by Observer film critic, Philip French, is a good one too. We made cover of the day on the Newmanology site.

One of the best editors in the world right now, David Remnick, the New Yorker editor, in an interesting discussion about magazines.
I am now the owner of a small cat (technical term is kitten) after he was found wandering the streets of Umm Suqeim, alone and scared. His name is Nixon. He has not, to my knowledge, recorded any of my phone calls. Yet.

Been reading a lot of American writers recently and rapidly coming to the conclusion that they beat their British counterparts hands down when it comes to humour. Compare the genius of David Sedaris with the ‘comedy’ stylings of Geoff Dyer, who seems to have one eye on what his audience will find funny when he writes.
PS: the awesome image can be bought here.
If you have never seen the Society of Publication Designers yearly annual, you are missing out. A beautiful collection of the best in magazine design from the US, it has long been an inspiration for the magazines I work on. So was very glad to see Open Skies make it onto the SPD.org blog yesterday. This was thanks to Robert Newman of Newmanology.
Yes, it is all change over at wndr media. We have designed a new logo and we will be rolling out some new products in the next month. Tomorrow I head to Kabul to gather content for our first city guide: wndrkabul. It will be available on iPhone and Android and will be launched during the summer. Will be heading to Kabul, Bamiyan and parts of the Panjshir Valley. All in all it should be a great trip. As for wndr media, stay tuned for a new website, some new apps and a variety of other projects….
Anyone interested in magazine design should check out this interview with Richard Turley, Bloomberg Business Week’s Creative Director and the man behind its stunning covers.
Things are moving fast with our Kabul app – release date to be set soon and a trip to Kabul in the next 4 weeks is in the works. This also looks interesting, and a must for anyone interested in bringing tourists to this amazing country.
