The double, May issue of CR features nearly 100 pages of the finest work of the past year in The Annual, plus features on design for the London Olympics, advertising and YouTube, the amazing rollercoaster ride of Attik and, we hope, lots of other interesting thing too...

The Designers Republic's special issue steel cover for Autechre album, Quaristice, was one of our Best In Book selections. Warp and tDR have produced so much great work that this seemed a fitting endpoint for a great client/designer relationship

Will designers remember the London 2012 Olympics as fondly as they do those of 1968, 72 and 84? Not without an improved tendering process and a strong creative director, says Mark Sinclair

A couple of months ago I made some comments about how late CR is out on the shelves of my local WHSmiths in Harrogate (North Yorks), up to a week later than its release date (at best).
As i had indicated in the previous post, I didn't blame CR but something was obviously going wrong further down the chain. However while in Smith's just a few days (23rd April to be precise) later than the 'Annuals' release, there was this months mag!
I would like to say thank you to Patrick and the team for very quickly addressing and obviously solving this problem.
Thanks!
