An editor’s suggested headline inspired this literal interpretation for the opening spread. Special kudos go out to Josh Clark’s amazing photoshop work.

Nescafe: Make It Easily With Nescafe - Love that old-world terminology, such as ‘sponge’ and ‘gateau’ for cake. We’re savouring the magic and mystery of the phrase “Bake … for 20 minutes at Regulo 5”.

The Southern issued this quarterly magazine (for first class ticket holders) and made a real effort with the design & layout. This edition, written by Michael Gifford (following the death of long term editor E P Leigh-Bennett the travel writer) was decorated by Victor Reinganum - with a series of vignettes. The magazine was set up and printed by the lovely Curwen Press - and it shows in terms of layout and lettering.

The cover has a fascinating collection of lettering and typography with a graphic description of tracks and points to produce a fan. There appears to have been three variations on the cover design over the decade this, from 1939, being of the final design.

The main article in this issue is regarding the completion of the electrification scheme for lines towards Reading extending electric services beyond Guildford and Virginia Water. This was another phase of the Southern's extensive programme of third rail electrification and modernisation of their primary commuter lines that allowed them to develop commuter traffic and sell a vision of a 'modern' railway. Victor Reinganum's vignettes make an excellent play on the vision of fast, clean electric trains.

Hey, Mom - what's for dinner?

Yay! Leftover turkey suspended in mayo and surrounded by Jello!! We'll still love you when we grow up scarred for life - while we desperately try to erase it all with booze and years of therapy.

A suitably 'dream' home cover for a post-WW2 edition of Ideal Home magazine, the artwork is by 'Allinson'. It is very 'Metroland'.

Spread for a story meant to challenge how people perceive what healthy looks like. Was incredibly nervous presenting the concept to Nick Vujicic. The concern was he might be offended, but he got how powerful the image could be and was amazing to work with.

The team included:

photographer: Fred Lopez

model: Nick Vujicic

photoshop: Josh Clark

I worked with our DD Mark Montgomery and Joe Lertola at Bryan Christie Design to create this graphic that summarizes the history of Martian space travel.

Originally appearing in our print magazine, then our web site, this graphic took on a life of its own after someone uploaded it to a random image server and it spread virally to numerous blogs, including Fast Company, Digg, Boing Boing and many others.
