Emigre has just published its last issue. As a graphic design student in the mid ’90s, I would pour over the magazine’s pages to seek creative inspiration. The experimental design magazine featured the fonts and layouts designed by the husband and wife team of Rudy Vanderlans and Zuzana Licko. Here’s in-depth coverage of the Berkeley-based company’s history. According to the e-mail announcement I received today, only the magazine will be discontinued.* Emigre the company “will happily continue on. (They) have much work left to do.”
*Back issues are sold here.
I still remember those jammies they sold that I was pining for. The price tag was a little much though…as in, I could probably feed 100 starving children in Africa for a month…or buy jammies.
I guess if you had gotten them, you wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night.
