Wendingen. M-Museum Leuven
1921, cover design by El Lissitsky
Wendingen was an art magazine that appeared from 1918 to 1932. It was a monthly publication aimed at architects and interior designers. The chief editor was the architect H. Th. Wijdeveld. In spite of the link of Wendingen with an architect's association, the contents of the booklet were not limited to architecture but attention was also given to art and design. The magazine gained recognition not only through its content but also by its square format and the striking typography of architect H.Th. Wijdeveld, El Lissitzky, Vilmos Huszar and others.

For Print Only
One of my favorite blogs "For Print Only" has been redesigned with a new logo and layout. I particularly like the new "Ask the experts" category: you can ask any question about print production and a group of experts will answer your question. That's very helpful.
