Foam Symmetry #21

After two years relaunching this iconic surf magazine I’m again focussing on gavinjouledesign… happy to say this is my favourite edition, so ending on a high. If you are interested in Magazine design and production and want some advice feel free to get in touch.

This issue has all the hallmarks of a collectable and high quality publication. The cover image is enhanced with a metallic ink background, matt lamination and cyan foiled masthead, the original image by French photographer Thomas Lodin had a magenta hue which I replaced with the metallic in post production. I also used several types of stock including a simulator (tracing type paper) for a printed overlay for the issues main interview. Printed in the Far-East and shipped to the USA, Australia and Europe. All in all looks to be the best issue of recent times…
