Hot off the Presses! 8 Faces issue #4
The magazine has one core question at its heart — if you could only use eight typefaces for the rest of your life, which would you choose? — and poses this (and many others) to eight leading designers from the fields of web design, print design, illustration, and of course type design itself. Printed on heavy stock, with a foil-blocked cover, white ink for the highlights and pressed at just 2000 limited editions, each issue is a true collector’s item. 8 Faces will be more at home on your bookshelf than in your magazine rack. Who said print is dead?
8 Faces is a beautifully designed publication and we at Prime Group are very proud to be printing this highly sought after magazine that has sold out the first 3 issues, and suspect that future issues will do the same. We do apologise however for the fact that our online news editor does not giving us the ability to choose anything other than a very boring font…
Elliot Jay Stocks is a designer; illustrator, speaker, and author based in Bristol, England and is the founder and editor of 8 Faces. “With 8 Faces, I’ve been lucky enough to experience how amazing it can be to make your own products; to truly be your own boss.” Says Elliot, “I had no idea the first issue would sell out so quickly, and when it did and the demand went crazy, I was quietly confident that issue two would do similarly well, which it did.“
So what does Elliot have to say about issue #3? “This is our boldest cover yet: beautifully illustrated by our favourite Frenchman Mc Bess. All I’ll say is that I personally think this is our best issue yet, especially from an aesthetic standpoint, and I’m so excited about showing it to the world.”
