Boy do I have a treat for you guys this morning. If you’re a bit of a magazine junkie (like me!), you’ve undoubtedly heard the buzz of the newest mag in town: Anthology. Because I love to support start-ups, independent businesses and the beauty of print, I was thrilled to offer Meg Mateo Ilasco (creative director of Anthology and all-around goddess of publishing) a spot on Design for Mankind to chat about the mag.

Read on for some serious inspiration. And take notes. This Anthology team is smart, and this mag is going to be huuuuge. Take it away, Meg!

OK, if you listen to ONE thing I say this week [make that year], listen to this:

File Magazine is exceedingly fabulous. Seriously. I’m in utter amazement. Not only is it chock full of major art/culture inspiration [think Of Montreal, Beck and a free limited print from Geoff McFetridge], but it’s size is strikingly reminiscent of the 39×30 cm ad agency work of my past. Even better? It includes an accompanying DVD with two hours of short films, music videos and interviews.

Have I sung enough praises yet? Subscribe NOW. I’m off to do the same.

I’m in a zine state of mind, so obviously, Chris Seddon’s work is really speaking to me this morning. Great work, Chris!

Dear Jacob sent me a copy of his latest poetry/illustration mag, and it’s AWESOME. I’m in mad love with the design, texture and overall aesthetic. Great job, Jacob!
