I thought it was so interesting to see how our culture has changed so much in just a short 50 years. The old covers at their time were probably considered risque and exposing, but compared to the covers of the 2000’s they seem like a child’s paint by numbers!

Working as an Art Director for Churm Media and designing covers for OC Family magazine and IE Family magazine it’s part of my job to stay up to date and current with magazine design, so when i see something as extraordinary as this national magazine undergo such huge changes it makes me take a look back at the short 10 years that Churm Media’s Family publications have been around and how much they’ve grown and evolved (to come in a later post, it’s on my to do list)

Genius or Perv?

You decide. Justin at 1 Lens 2 Many has posted a link of a link, probably of a trackback and a click through. Nevermind the paper trail, the end product is flickrbabes.com. This is a blog style site dedicated to finding pictures of beautiful ladies and posting them for the word to gander upon. In actuality, i’m surprised someone hasn’t done this sooner with other Flickr account images. i mean, c’mon, they’re endless!!
