Layouts I Love • Monocle 187 Monocle is a good enough magazine to be worthy of criticism. I think I’ll still just fawn for now. #layoutsilove #monocle #editorialdesign #typography #printdesign #graphicdesign #magazineculture #publicationdesign

How to Spot a Fascist, Internet archive PDF. In case you haven't read it or in case someone you know someone who hasn't read it. dn721803.ca.archive.org/0/items/umbe...

Layouts I Love • Tarzan 916 Tarzan is a Japanese magazine focused on health and activity. What sets it apart is a focus on fundamentals, excellent art, and energizing layouts that prioritize clear information. #layoutsilove #japanese-design #editorialdesign #illustration #printdesign

I've been getting decent numbers and reactions to my new project on Instagram and tiktok. I've been getting zero reaction on Bluesky, threads, and Pinterest. Curious.

Layouts I Love • LCBO Food & Drink, Holiday 2025 This is a good spot to mention that I don’t necessarily endorse every product or brand in this series. I’m focused on arrangement, typography, and design.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

The New York Review of Books is large so it can fit a whole cat

For print magazines, I'm taking photos from above, bringing them into Lightroom to do edits, then saving them into my template.

This Month in Retro Magazine Ads - People Magazine, Spring 1990

Layouts I Love • Letterboxd Year in Review 2025 Letterboxd’s Year in Review (letterboxd.com/2025) is designed so well, I changed my posting schedule for it. Look at this website. It works at any size, but retains a nice vertical rhythm. It has a table of contents! More of that on web pages, please.

Layouts I Love • EGM, May 1993 This was the first video game magazine I ever bought. At ten years old and obsessed with gaming, I was the target demographic. I read every single one of these 183 pages until they fell apart. #layoutsilove #videogames #egm #90sstyle #retrogaming

Giving Tidal an honest shot this winter

Layouts I Love • **frankie 129 @frankiemagazine** Frankie is like an arts and crafts zine **that** grew up. It’s full of original art, snappy writing, and colorful layouts. #layoutsilove #frankie #graphicdesign #printisnotdead #magazinelust #editorialdesign

Layouts I Love | Spacing 72. @spacingstore The Spacing Store in Toronto is a love-letter shop to local artists, writers, and designers. There should be an outpost in every neighbourhood.

Genuine curiosity, what's your favorite magazine growing up, and what if any is your favourite now?

I've come completely full circle. My favorite blogs are generally ones that recommend things. And now I'm just reading magazines again, which are just blogs that recommend things next to sponsored content. But with better layouts.

The Beast in Me is my favourite kind of thriller: tense, violent, psychologically fascinating. The show’s title cards, designed by @arccreative_us, pair perfectly. Fast, unsettling simplicity. #layoutsilove #thebeastinme #tv #thriller #typography

Azure magazine, Dec 2025 After several hours of walking through the impressive 50th annual ooak show, I spotted a stack of Azure magazines on the table near the exit. #layoutsilove #azuremagazine #print #design

Vogue Hombre, December 2025 (www.vogue.mx/moda/vogue-h...) If you’re ever bored by the look and feel of some magazines, I beg you to just look around at other parts of the world. They’re still having fun out there. #layoutsilove #vogue #fashion #cocktails

Hanako’s January issue is cat-themed. The whole thing is just about cats. It’s amazing. #layoutsilove #layouts #cats

I began my first Hobonichi Techo journal this year. It came with a little booklet that shows how you can use it. Just a couple tips and tricks. The front page states exactly like how I’d like to begin this series: “You loving yourself. That’s probably a good start.” #layoutsilove

Starting next year, I'll be doing something different with my socials. I'm going to share more stuff with my friends and family directly, and instead will push out stuff I love in the world of layout design. I hope you like it. 📖 Photo credit: unsplash.com/photos/a-per...

My movies of the year roundup ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/28/s...

Here's everything I worked on personally this year. Special shoutout to all the guests of the International Object pod 💖🤼 ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/23/s...

For my newsletter today, I discussed my "pivot to video", what it has meant for my workload, why I think it was worth it, and if I think other writers and podcasters should dabble with video It also explains why I haven't been posting newsletter articles recently www.burnsnotice.com/the-pivot-to...

My first yearly reading log: books, magazines, stats, and a blogroll, all in one: ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/12/s...

I stand by this @backloggd.com

Good morning. I've written up my yearly game log. If you follow me on backloggd, you've seen most of these notes. It's nice to have it all in one place: ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/08/s... TL:DR: 46 games played, some even from this year for once!

Most of the time it's annoying that Scrivener shows up as a "game" on discord, but it's sort of cute that it won in a landslide

I wonder how it feels to write something pithy on Twitter in 2017, then see it as a screenshot on Instagram forever

It's funny, I feel like I'm never here. And yet... I was quite online this year on Bluesky, with a total of 290 active days. My longest break was 5 days. My most active month was January. See how online or offline you were this year here: anisota.net/harvest

I could see this turning both of them babyface, though.

Only wrestling fans know this little secret, Heel/Heel matches like Okada vs PAC are the best wrestling matches.

I'm an extremely impressive hacker (installed OnionOS once)

I’ve found these gift guides to be very helpful in finding gifts for others, and, perhaps more useful, finding things to ask for myself. ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/01/g...

ksawyerpaul.com/2025/11/28/h... I'm going to try to do a monthly log of my favourite stories going forward

A question I'd like @brandon.insertcredit.com to answer on @insertcredit.com sometime: were you, as I was, disappointed when megabonk turned out to not be a new Bonk game

screams

I bought it on Switch 2 like a dork immediately

Last night, I finished the first draft on a long article about AI. I have a blog where I could publish it, but I wonder if I shouldn't pitch it to a few places. I think it's a good take.

Hell's yeah on this show

Going to tell my kids, this was "May I ask for One Final Thing?"

This goal feels good to finally check off

This also works if you "split" your monitor horizontally between two inputs. If the view becomes taller than wide, Windows will start snapping vertically. It's neat.

Having a pretty great Sunday, just reading articles I've been saving for a while. When I was in college, an app project I made was an Instapaper-style read-later thing called Sunday that worked only on your rest day. I still...kind of use read later apps like that?

love these choices #yakuzalikeadragon
