Met a dancer Who was high in a field From her movement Caught my breath on my way home Couldn’t stop that sprinning force I felt in me Everything around seemed to giggle glee She walked up with a flower and I cared Got a dancer Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms But I’m always away for weeks That pass slow my Mind gets lost Feeling envy for the kid who’ll dance despite anything I walk out in the flowers and feel better If I could just leave my body for the night: Then we could be dancing No more missing you while I’m gone There we could be dancing And you’d smile and say, “I like this song” And when our eyes will meet there We will recognize nothing’s wrong And I wouldn’t feel so selfish I won’t be this way very long To hold you in time To hold you in time To hold you in time To hold you in time While we were dancing Early hours Drunken days finally ended And the streets turned for a pillowcase Then I fumbled our good lock Then the ecstasy turns to rising light Through our windowpane Now I’m gone I left flowers for you there Shhh You’re a dancer I’m a dancer In the flowers Animal Collective album: Merriweather post pavilion 2009

There can be a very strong, enhanced feeling of being there. The lack of focus inherent in a pinhole camera disturbs many people who feel they must be able to defocus parts of the view in order to concentrate just on the essence or who feel that the limited depth of field of most cameras is something natural. Pinhole photography does require a different philosophy, a different way of looking at things when composing a photograph. The background is always there, just like in real life. 24-31

The power

of cover book design
Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book design “though largely forgotten today, methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books these rules have to be brought back to life and applied. ”Richard Hendel describes book design as “an arcane subject” and refers to the need for a context to understand what that means.
Because I`ts not always about Me, sometimes it`s about flowers and oranges. A.A
The word of the editor
So here it is, another edicion of Me magazine with next shy, romantic and experimental young artist. As I said before the whole idea of Me magazine is to represent young artists through their work and stuff they like as music, books ect. I came to this idea because I wanted to see how two artists can work and share together but still stay different, I`m trying to feel someones elses energy but still leave some of my traces. That`s how I`m making the whole design of the magazine, this is the way to get close to artist sensibility.

y work explores the relationship between acquired synesthesia and recycling culture. With influences as diverse as Derrida and Roy Lichtenstein, new tensions are created from both simple and complex layers. Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the mind. What starts out as hope soon becomes corrupted into a hegemony of power, leaving only a sense of decadence and the inevitability of a new beginning. As spatial forms become transformed through diligent and critical practice, the viewer is left with an impression of the limits of our world.

Marc Jacobs (born April 9, 1963) is an American fashion designer and the head
designer for Marc Jacobs, as well as the diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs. Jacobs is currently the Creative Director of the French design house Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs was born to a Jewish family in New York City. He grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey with his mother, sister, and younger brother, and attended Teaneck High School but also attended and graduated from the New York High School of Art and Design. At fifteen, Jacobs worked as a stockboy at Charivari, an avantgarde clothing boutique in New York City. He later attended The New School, studying at the university’s art and design division; he was also captain of the ballet team. Jacobs also studied at Parsons. During his tenure at Parsons, Jacobs won the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble Award in 1984, and in the same year was also awarded the Chester Weinberg Gold Thimble Award and the Design Student of the Year. While still at Parsons, Jacobs designed and sold his first line of hand-knit sweaters. He also designed his first collection for Reuben Thomas, Inc., under the Sketchbook label. Following his studies at Parsons, Jacobs began to design at Perry Ellis after its founder had died. Jacobs became prominent on the fashion scene when he designed a “grunge” collection for Perry Ellis, leading to his dismissal in 1993. [citation needed] With Robert Duffy, Jacobs’ creative collaborator, and business partner since the mid-80s, he formed Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc., which continues to this day. Duffy also remains Jacobs’ best friend and confidant, Duffy told Sally Singer in a 2008 interview for032c magazine. In 1986, backed by Onward Kashiyama USA, Inc., Jacobs designed his first collection bearing the Marc Jacobs label. In 1987, Jacobs was the youngest designer to have ever been awarded the fashion industry’s highest tribute, The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent.

”I like romantic allusions to the past: what the babysitter wore, what the art teacher wore, what I wore during my experimental days in fashion when I was going to the Mudd Club and wanted to be a New Wave kid or a punk kid but was really a poseur. It’s the awkwardness of posing and feeling like I was in, but I never was in. Awkwardness gives me great comfort.” Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton In 1997, Jacobs was appointed Creative Director of luxury French fashion house, Louis Vuitton, where he created the company’s first ready-to-wear line. Jacobs has collaborated with many popular artists for his Louis Vuitton collections. Vuitton has worked in conjunction with Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and most recently American artist Richard Prince and rapper Kanye West. As of 2011, Jacobs remains the Creative Director for Louis Vuitton.
Personal life In 2009, Jacobs was ranked 15th on Out magazine’s annual list of “50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America”. Jacobs, who is openly gay, was in a relationship with advertising executive Lorenzo Martone. In March 2009, Women’s Wear Daily reported that the pair was engaged after a year of dating.[17] In July 2009, the couple held their wedding in Provincetown, Massachusetts.[18] Although they considered themselves a married couple, their marriage was not legally official until later that year.[19] On July 23, 2010, Jacobs told Vogue.co.uk: “No I am not getting married.”[20] And on July 24, Lorenzo announced via Twitter that he and Jacobs had not been together for two months. It’s long been said that great designers understand what women want to wear before they’ve even seen it…. Jacobs has always known where the wind is blowing next, be it luxe logos, a prim fifties prettiness, or this new somber, romantic glamour. With both his own signature collection and the collection he designs for Louis Vuitton, this isn’t fashion lite. These aren’t clothes that make a seamless transition from runway to real life.”

Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Top notes are grapefruit, green notes, raspberry and pear; middle notes are jasmine, rose, violet, litchi and apple blossom; base notes are musk, virginia cedar and plum.

Pinhole Photography
is a liberating, enlightening and educating experience Photography without Lenses But Why? Why would anyone in their right mind start taking pinhole photographs which can never be really sharp, at least when taken with a reasonably sized camera? There is no single answer, different people do have their different reasons. Pinhole photography is great fun and it can be the most serious kind of photography. There is the freedom from vying for the latest and the greatest the industry has to offer, and the freedom from the delusion that technically ever more perfect equipment is required for great photography. There is also the satisfaction of still being able to use one’s own creativity and craftmanship to the full, of designing and even building cameras which may be quite unique and individual, an essential part of the art. Pinhole photography is done with very simple cameras which instead of a lens have just a tiny hole or sometimes several of them through which light passes to the film. There are no adjustments to be made, usually there is no viewfinder, and the shutter may be fully manual. A pinhole camera can be home built extremely cheaply and still produce astonishing photos which technically are indistinguishable from photos taken with the finest commercial pinhole cameras. However, even the commercial ones are very cheap compared with almost any other type of camera, and some are rather elaborately and beautifully finished, almost works of art.
A pinhole photograph is not razor sharp, but all parts of the image are almost equally in focus and there is no obvious focal blur. The image may be soft, but the softness is uniform from very near the camera to the horizon, which often creates a very dreamlike quality. On the other hand, pinhole photographs are often more documentary than customary ones just because there are no out of focus zones, on the photo one can see everything that was visible within the angle of view from the pinhole position, limited only by the resolving power of the specific pinhole system. There can be a very strong, enhanced feeling of being there. The lack of focus inherent in a pinhole camera disturbs many people who feel they must be able to defocus parts of the view in order to concentrate just on the essence or who feel that the limited depth of field of most cameras is something natu-

a pinhole camera with all its limitations can give a creative photographer a degree of freedom from purely commercial pressures, very cheaply, and sometimes an opportunity to take photographs utterly impossible by any other means. Pinhole photography does require a different philosophy, a different way of looking at things when composing a photograph. The background is always there, just like in real life. Hipstamatic is part of a “retro” trend in photography, which has seen a rise in the popularity of cheap and technically obsolete analog cameras (such as Lomography and Polaroid instant cameras), as well as software filters and smartphone software that emulate such cameras (courtesy of Wikipedia). Hipstamatic is part of a “retro” trend in photography, which has seen a rise in the popularity of cheap and technically obsolete analog cameras (such as Lomography and Polaroid instant cameras), as well as software filters and smartphone software that emulate such cameras. Other “vintage” photography applications include CameraBag and Instagram. Like Hipstamatic, they often include social networking features to facilitate the exchange of photos via the internet. The application’s styling is based on the Hipstamatic 100, a cheap plastic analog photographic camera. According to Synthetic, the company distributing Hipstamatic, that camera was developed in the early 1980s by Bruce and Winston Dorbowski, but was a commercial failure, selling fewer than 200 units. The application has enjoyed substantially more success than its purported plastic predecessor, selling 1.4 million times as of November 2010.[3] It received additional publicity when New York Times photographer Damon Winter used it in 2010 to illustrate a front-page story about the Afghanistan War.
Lomography is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services catering to the Global Modern art community of Lomographic photography. The name is inspired by the former staterun optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of Saint Petersburg,Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the 35 mm LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera — which became the centerpiece of Lomography’s marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 1980s. In 1991, the Austrian founders of Lomography discovered the Lomo LC-A.[1] As the company states, they were “charmed by the unique, colorful, and sometimes blurry” images that the camera produced. After a series of international art exhibitions and aggressive marketing work, Lomography signed an exclusive distribution agreement with LOMO PLC — thereby becoming the sole distributor of all Lomo LC-A cameras outside union.

he Royal Tenenbaums is a 2001 American comedy-drama film directed by Wes Anderson and co-written with Owen Wilson. It stars Wilson along with Danny Glover, Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson. It follows the lives of three gifted siblings who experience great success in youth, and even greater disappointment and failure after theireccentric father leaves them in their adolescent years. An ironic and absurdist sense of humor pervades the film. Hackman won a Golden Globe for his performance. The screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award. Royal Tenenbaum tells children Chas, Margot, and Richie he and his wife, Etheline, will soon separate. Each child has experienced great success at a young age. Chas is a math and business genius, from whom Royal steals money. Margot was awarded a $50,000 Braverman grant for a play that she wrote in the ninth grade. Richie is a tennis prodigy and artist. He expresses his love for adopted sister Margot through many paintings. Eli Cash is a neighbor and Richie’s best friend. Twenty-two years later, Royal is kicked out of the hotel where he lives. All of the Tenenbaum children are in a slump. Richie is traveling the world in a cruise ship following a breakdown. Chas has become extremely overprotective of his two sons, Ari and Uzi, following his wife Rachael’s death in a plane crash. Margot is married to a neurologist named Raleigh St. Clair, from whom she hides her smoking and most of her checkered past. Raleigh performs tests on Dudley Heinsbergen, to research his strange disorder. Etheline’s accountant, Henry Sherman, proposes to her. Homeless and informed that Etheline is considering marriage, Royal devises a plan to convince Etheline that he has stomach cancer in order to win her and his children’s affections back. He moves in and sets up medical equipment. Each of the Tenenbaum children move back home. Royal decides to take Ari and Uzi out shoplifting and dog fighting. Upon their return, Chas berates him for endangering his boys. Eli, with whom Margot has been having an affair, tells her that Richie loves her. Royal objects to Margot’s treatment of Raleigh. A private investigator is hired by Raleigh and Richie to spy on her. Henry observes Royal’s behavior and exposes to all that Royal is faking his illness. His doctor is a fake and his medication is Tic Tacs. Royal gets a job as an elevator attendant at his old hotel. Richie reacts to the private eye’s report by shaving off his beard and most of his hair, then slits his wrists. Dudley finds him in a pool of his own blood. Richie later escapes the hospital to meet Margot. They express their love and kiss. Royal wants Etheline to be happy and agrees to sign divorce papers. Before Henry and Etheline’s wedding, Eli, high on mescaline, crashes his car into the side of the house, narrowly avoiding Ari and Uzi. Their dog is killed but the boys are pushed out of the way in time by Royal. An enraged Chas fights with Eli, who realizes that he needs serious help. Chas then thanks Royal for saving his sons. Royal buys adalmatian from the firefighters at the scene. Forty-eight hours later, Etheline and Henry are married in a judge’s chambers. Time passes. Margot releases a new play based on her family.

Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) A shamelessly insensitive lawyer and a failure as a father. He intentionally shot his son Chas with a BB gun, and consistently and irrelevantly feels he must point out that Margot is his “adopted daughter.” He often took only Richie to dogfights while excluding Chas and Margot. Anderson had Hackman in mind for Royal but the actor was reluctant to take the part, saying he prefers to disappear into a role, instead of having a role fitted for him. Gene Wilder was offered the role as well, but turned it down because of his retirement. Etheline Tenenbaum (Anjelica Huston) – A noted archaeologist and author, and the mother of the Tenenbaum children, who “makes their education her top priority.” Later on, Ethel finds love with Henry Sherman, her accountant, the complete opposite of her estranged husband Royal. Chas Tenenbaum (Ben Stiller) – A genius in international finance, Chas sued his father twice and had him disbarred because of the bonds his father stole from his safe deposit box when he was fourteen. His wife, Rachael Evans Tenenbaum, died in a plane crash and he has since become obsessed with the safety of his sons, Ari and Uzi. They have a beaglenamed Buckley. Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) – A playwright and adopted daughter, Margot once ran away from home for two weeks to meet her birth family and came back with half of one of her fingers missing. She is shown moping in her bathtub, watching television, ignoring her husband. She smokes, unbeknownst to anyone else in her family as she is infamously secretive. Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson) – A tennis prodigy, Richie is secretly in love with Margot. He ends his successful tennis career with a nervous breakdown on court in front of thousands of fans (the film implies the cause was the marriage of Margot and Raleigh the day before). As the film opens, he has been living on an ocean liner for several months. He drinks Bloody Marys with pepper throughout the movie, so much so that he carries a capped pepper shaker in his jacket pocket. The character is loosely based on former championBjörn Borg, who shocked the tennis world by retiring at age 26, and wore the same style headband and trademark Fila polo. Eli Cash (Owen Wilson) – A “friend of the family” since the children were very young, considered Richie’s best friend, Eli has “always wanted to be a Tenenbaum.” He gained success as an author of Western novels; his latest work presupposes the outcome if George Armstrong Custer had not died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Eli has been having an affair with Margot and has a drug problem. Anderson has stated that Eli is based on the authors Cormac McCarthy and Jay McInerney. Henry Sherman (Danny Glover) – Ethel’s accountant and romantic interest. He confronts Royal on his supposed stomach cancer with the family present, revealing that his wife had stomach cancer, and Royal does not show any of the symptoms. Raleigh St. Clair (Bill Murray) – Husband of Margot and a famous neurologist in his own right. Anderson has mentioned that St. Clair was based on Oliver Sacks. He is constantly accompanied by his adolescent test subject Dudley Heinsbergen. Pagoda (Kumar Pallana) – Friend and servant to the family. He also acts as an informant for Royal to update him on his family. They met after Pagoda, an assassin in Kolkata, stabbed Royal; he earned his trust, however, when he then carried him on his back to the hospital. The narrator of the story is Alec Baldwin. The Tenenbaum children, all highly intelligent and disillusioned, are loosely based on the similarly disillusioned siblings from J. D. Salinger’s Glass family stories, as director Wes Anderson revealed in a January 2001 interview with Premiere . The Glass children, seven child prodigies who turned into miserable adults, are the central subject of three of Salinger’s four published books. askew and heartfelt at the same time.”

The power of cover book design
46
B
ook design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book design “though largely forgotten today, methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books these rules have to be brought back to life and applied. ”Richard Hendel describes book design as “an arcane subject” and refers to the need for a context to understand what that.
Front matter Front matter, or preliminaries (“prelims”, for short), is the first section of a book, and is usually the smallest section interms of the number of pages. The pages are numbered in lower-case Roman numerals. Each page is counted; but no folio or page number is expressed, or printed, on either display pages, or blank pages.Front matter generally only appears in the first volume in a series, although some elements (such as a table of contents or index) may appear in each volume.
Body matter The structure of a work (and especially of its body matter) is often described hierarchically.A volume is a set of leaves that are bound together. Thus each work is either a volume, or is divided into volumes. A single volume may embody either a part of a book or the whole of a book; in some works, parts include multiple books, and in some others books include multiple parts.A chapter or section may be contained within a part and/or a book; when both chapters and sections are used in the same work, the sections are more often contained within chapters than the reverse.

The spine of the book is an important aspect in book design, especially in the cover design. When the books are stacked up or stored in a shelf, the details on the spine is the only visible surface that contains the information about the book. In a book store, it is often the details on the spine that attract the attention first. The front cover is the front of the book, and is marked appropriately, by text and/or graphics, in order to identify it as such, namely as the very beginning of the book. The front cover usually contains at least the title and/or author, with possibly an appropriate illustration. On the inside of the cover page, extending to the facing page is the front endpaper sometimes referred as FEP. The free half of the end paper is called a flyleaf. Traditionally, in hand-bound books, the endpaper was just a sheet of blank or ornamented paper physically masking and reinforcing the connection between the cover and the body of the book. In modern publishing it can be either plain, as in many text-oriented books, or variously ornamented and illustrated in books such as Picture books, other children’s literature, some arts and craft and hobbyist books, novelty/gift-market and coffee table books, and Graphic novels. These books have an audience and traditions of their own where the graphic designand immediacy is especially important and publishing tradition and formality are less important. The spine is the vertical edge of a book as it normally stands on a bookshelf. It is customary for it to have printed text on it. In texts published and/or printed in the United States, the spine text, when vertical, runs from the top to the bottom, such that it is right side up when the book is lying flat with the front cover on top. In books of Europe, vertical spine text traditionally runs from the bottom up, though this convention has been changing lately. The spine usually contains all, or some, of four elements (besides decoration, if any), and in the following order: (1) author, editor, or compiler; (2) title; (3) publisher; and (4) publisher logo. On the inside of the back cover page, extending from the facing page before it, is the endpaper. Its design matches the front endpaper and, in accordance with it, contains either plain paper or pattern, image etc. The back cover often contains biographical matter about the author or editor, and quotes from other sources praising the book. It may also contain a summary or description of the book.
Book binding Books are classified under two categories according to the physical nature of their binding. The designation hardcover (or hardback) refers to books with stiff covers, as opposed toflexible ones. The binding of a hardcover book usually includes boards (often made of paperboard) covered in cloth, leather, or other materials. The binding is usually sewn to the pages using string stitching. A less expensive binding method is that used for paperback books (sometimes called softback or softcover). Most paperbacks are bound with paper or light cardboard, though other materials (such as plastic) are used. The covers are flexible and usually bound to the pages using glue (perfect binding). Some small paperback books are sub-classified as pocketbooks.
