  • Hello and welcome to the Stack.

  • For this week's show I speak with Richard Spencer Powell Monaco's creative director.

  • We talk about our September issue and a cover that is causing a stir.

  • Also on the show, I speak with the curator of Indy Con taking place this September in Hamburg.

  • And finally, design journalist Dominic Bradbury on his latest project.

  • Enjoy the show.

  • From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.

  • 30 minutes of print industry analysis.

  • And I am Fernando Gustava.

  • Where next?

  • That's the headline of Monaco's September issue, our mobility special.

  • To tell me more about the issue and about the beautiful cover which is looking different from the previous ones this year.

  • A pleasure to speak with Rich or Richard Spencer Powell Monaco's creative director.

  • It's caused a bit of a stir in the office, actually the COVID in a good way.

  • I've had lots of people come up to my desk and email me and compliment me on the COVID So that's normally anecdotally, that's normally a good sign.

  • We hope the public has the same response.

  • But internally it's been very successful.

  • And I noticed on my way into the studio just now that at the front of desk we have, as you know, we have a nice olive UBS unit and we keep the out facing covers on there.

  • And I asked Millie on front of house how come the new issue has been stacked too deep.

  • And she said it's because so many people keep taking them that the display keeps getting emptied too frequently.
