News, Etcetera
Wow! The e-mail inbox is full of industry news this week, including:
• Jonathan Barnbrook's distinctive
Mason
is now available in OpenType format from
Emigre
.
• More news from
The Paper Mill Store
than you can shake a stick at: They're now carrying additional lines from Gmund (Bier, Ever, the yummy Kaschmir and Treasury). Appleton's "insanely bright" Fluorescents line of C1S cover stock is also now available. The online retailer also offers new double-thick cover stocks from Monadnock, Mohawk and Finch. And they've added square envelopes from a variety of mills.
• Sappi has issued a call for entries for its 2008

• Benetton's Fabrica communications group (publishers of Colors magazine) is teaming up with

An event on April 18 will launch the new issue of Colors and feature editorial director Enrico Bossan, creative director Erik Ravelo and Fabrica's video/film director Babak Payami. The trio will host portfolio reviews for Academy of Art students on April 15 and 16; selected students will serve one-year internships at Fabrica in Italy. Finally, an exhibit of all 73 issues of Colors will run at San Francisco's 79 Gallery through May 17.
