Hi
Who did your cover illustration? It kind of reminds me of a poster I produced and posted around Bristol recently. Did anyone see it? It’s here on my website

@Jono
It was done by Sam Potts in New York (there's a feature about him in the issue). We asked him to do something around the visual language used in all the graphics referring to the financial crisis - lots of red and black arrows etc - which is also a reference to a piece in the magazine

I like it, he sounds like he's on a similar wavelength to me. I also did a run of my posters in red that will be posted around London the next time I visit. Keep your eyes peeled!

Your Sam Potts front cover is strikingly good. Do you ever issue prints? Reminds me of an expression I tend to overuse "Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." Will buy this issue for the cover alone (and the apps piece looks good too). Thanks.
