Hey, It’s Pub.

I’ve been asked by Pub, the new CalArts student publication to send a message on its behalf. Below is a quick note from Pub. –Silas

Pub

Hey,

Hi. My dearest Walker Design Blog readers, It’s Pub. You may not know me, but I want to know you. So, I’ll be honest. I’m small. Though don’t let my 6 5/8″ by 9 1/2″ size fool you. 80 pages thick, one 16 page 4-color signature, 2 spot colors throughout, and printed in Canada–I’m more than just a series of measurements.

I am a publication for the graphic rabble rousers. On the other hand, perhaps I’m for the graphically timid? Be visually meek no longer! Gaze at my pages. Just don’t take my copy at face value, okay? Really try to digest it. Thanks much.

Big names like Fella, Keedy, MicFetridge, and Toffe grace my pages. But so do big guns like Dulaney, Erdenberer, Fong and Gehlhaar. Johnson, Lebeda, Prinz, Robbins and Roettinger too. Julie Mattei is my mother, so I guess that makes me Parisian, but my soul is 100% California (via France, Germany, New York, etc).

Please note a single mother does not a pub make. We all know it takes a well designed Village–I was shepherded into the world by CalArts students, faculty and alums. I wouldn’t be what I am without their wondrous amalgamation of interviews, stories, photographs, drawings and heaps and piles of graphic design.

Please take a moment to order me. I do so love to travel.

Love,

Pub
