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.
