With this edition, they aim to provoke people to pay more attention, introduce them, and make them fall in love all over again with the world of typography through writing, photos, and light articles on this amazing publication.
See after the jump for the preview of Still Loving Youth #2.
From Still Loving Youth:
Three months after our first publication, Still Loving Youth is back with our second edition. This edition, uses a different format, theme and collaborators from our first edition.
This second edition is divided into three inter-connected parts, where each part is formed from diverse features, which come together under our wider theme of Types Are Fun.
In this edition, we have tried to play with the alphabet and the art of typography, which is often neglected by designers, even though notabene typography is one element of design which can’t be avoided. For people who live outside the world of design, the word typography may sound foreign, or complicated.
As a result, we have tried to ‘provoke’ people to pay more attention, introduce, and then fall in love with the world of typography through a variety of writing, photos and light articles, the fruit of the careers of our collaborators, which this time come from a variety of designers, schools and various art and educational communities.
The schools - from pre-schools to kindergartens - we allowed the students to be creative in reconstructing fonts made by local typographers. The children’s creations took a variety of forms, from paint, through beads to rugos. As well as displaying the children’s creativity in deconstructing the letters, we also feature various articles, linked to the world of children, particularly the process where children are introduced to letter shapes.
For various communities, we asked them to make their own font creations, based on their own specialities, such as the knitting community and origami from Tobucil, Bandung, which made letters from knitting wool, and origami paper. Meanwhile, the Brick Club Indonesia made a miniature town and letters from brick toys (Lego).
Other than creating fonts, in another section of this publication, we asked five photographers in five different Indonesian cities to document the special and unique street typography, reflecting the condition of the city where they live, in the form of photographic essays.
Finally, everything undertaken by our family of contributors in this second edition of Still Loving Youth, has indirectly created fonts and typographic art which feels great, light, and can be enjoyed by all members of the community.
In this edition, we’re not afraid to declare that fonts and typograhy are now starting to have a new meaning: fun.
Still Loving Youth 2nd Edition: Types Are Fun. Three separate volumes compiled in one folder box package. 1000 hand-numbered limited-edition copies.
Ready to freshen up your mind and sight after the holly jolly day!

You can say that I don’t understand anything about women’s fashion. If it’s fit nicely on a female form then I’ll say it is a good fashion, that’s pretty much how I judge a women’s clothing, But this Spring/Summer collection by Dries van Noten caught my attention. Just last week, president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono calls for Oct. 2 “batik day” to celebrate UN recognition of batik as an Indonesian cultural treasure. It’s funny to see that our society needs an “approval” from UN to celebrate a legacy we have for hundreds of years.
Now the hype continues, the art form has been adopted by Belgian born designer, Dries van Noten in his S/S 2010 collection. From the photos, it looks like he make use of the Parang motif Batik featured in a skirt and blouse. In this collection he utilized many kinds of traditional fabric from different kind of culture and country, injected a lot of colors and energy to the collection.
Thanks to Soubrette for the heads up. images via ElleUk.

Robert Bradford creates his life-size and larger-than-life sculptures of humans and animals from discarded plastic items, mainly toys but also other colorful plastic bits and pieces, such as combs and buttons, brushes and parts of clothes pegs.
Contrary to some reports, he’s not a self-taught artist who tinkered in his shed one day and suddenly decided to create something out of his kids’ discarded toys. He is a London-born and U.K. and U.S.-trained visual artist who, like many artists, also had another career on the side. His was that of a psychotherapist.
In 2002, he started to consider the possibilities that his children’s forgotten toys could have as part of something bigger. Bradford says he likes the idea that the plastic pieces have a history, some unknown past, and that they also pass on a “cultural” history as each of the pieces represents a point in time. Recycling is not his primary concern, but each sculpture certainly keeps quite a few pieces from becoming landfill. Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3,000 toys and sell for £12,000 (US$19,000). - Tuija Seipell

Emerged in 1960, the classic 8-eye boot by Dr. Martens will celebrate a milestone year as it turns 50 years old. Although they are not the original black leather, these newly invented “8-eye’s” are sure to become an icon of its own with seven lively colors: cru, yellow, red, purple, blue, green and black. And while the top may seem to be made of canvas, it is actually water-resistant leather giving the illusion of a canvas material. Among the modern additions or readjustments to the OG boots, are the flat white sneaker-like laces, white contrast stitching and white soles. These highly anticipated boots are part of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection, and they will surely be off the shelves in a very short time, so don’t blink twice and make sure to keep your “Soles Bouncing”.

This is better than the pen that sends emails … but in the future are we still gonna use pens and paper !?

This way no paper waste … green all the way!
