Slanted

Slanted, a German bi-annual graphic design publication, is a dense, image-filled look at the modern design world. Each issue starts with a theme or a place, and dives into a million design projects, from the creative to the radical to the bizarre. Each 250+ page issue contains interviews, Q & A’s, short essays, and tons of brief overviews of works by designers and artists. With an index of artists at the back, it is easily usable as a reference as well as a current read. Small and chunky, with a lay-flat binding, and packed with cool stuff. Take a look! In English.
