For the November issue of Novum Magazine, German design studio Paperlux created six versions of bendable magazine covers that playfully invites people to interact with it: ‘Small, colorful triangles are punch cut from the cover, so that you can bend, fold, and ripple along the geometric lines’. Here’s an issue you will be leaving on the coffee table for your guests.

Sydney-based writer and designer, Anthea Krook, has created a new publication which aims to bring happiness into our everyday lives. Spoonful is a short but inspiring little publication which, in light of our insanely busy lives, can be finished by the end of a train ride. It’s quick to consume, beautifully soft, and after reading, will genuinely make you smile. Featuring tales of how to survive failure, appreciate the things we have, and reflect on the little moments that make us happy, Spoonful is a happiness companion, small enough to fit in a bag and be taken with you anywhere.

Now this is clever. Starting May 7, the team behind 48 Hours Magazine will write, photograph, illustrate, design, edit, and ship a magazine in just two days: ‘the end results will be a shiny website and a beautiful glossy paper magazine, delivered right to your old-fashioned mailbox’. Unreal. Literally.
