My Favorite Artist’s Promotion
BANG! says it is “the must unpredictable magazine in the world.” It is also more than a distinctive artist’s promotion by Klaas Verplancke. It’s a beautifully and tastefully conceived publication that makes me happy just to look at it. Just the idea that Verplancke invested in a printed tabloid paper in this digital age to show off his very clever offerings,earns him a place in the illustration pantheon, but to do so with such a high level of design class as this makes him a hero in my book. (Actually, the design was done by Ines Cox, but Verplancke had the good sense to run with it.) Get more BANG!here.
