MOTLEY is a publication created to inspire, to present creative imagery in an innovative and unorthodox way. We have no set production schedule, it is created when the mood feels correct. Each new issue of Motley will be unique in design and feature the work of new and established artists, Worldwide.
The premier issue launched in Summer 2010 and features the work of nine international photographers. To avoid producing a publication with a traditional story layout, we decided to mix the photographers work together and devised a front cover grid system code to determine each photographers images. It was important to us that the images spoke for themselves first rather than be dictated by their creators or credits.
Motley is currently available in Berlin, London, New York and Stockholm.
Mag+, Bonnier’s digital magazine platform, is a project that began months ago in a collaboration between Bonnier’s global R&D task force and BERG, a London-based design studio. It is now an ongoing project across all Bonnier titles in the U.S. and Europe to rethink the way magazines can be read on a new generation of full-color, touchscreen tablet devices.
Bonnier has taken a first step towards their Mag+ vision by building a popular science digital magazine for the iPad. Popular Science+ is available now in the iTunes and tomorrow live for the lucky iPad owners. If you want to have a first preview of the magazine, check out the Beta Lab.
Bonnier R&D has made some research into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. The video above illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future. The concept is presented by BERG.
Bonnier R&D would be more than happy to hear what you have to say regarding the concept and ideas expressed in the video: the magazine reading experience, digital browsing, text versus images, as well as hear about your own digital reading experiences and thoughts.

Exclusive online shop 20ltd has recently released a new book called Einstein’s watch.
Newspapers and magazines are never short of glossy images urging us what to aspire to. But what things really do represent the world’s most desirable possessions? Are they necessarily expensive or can they cost nothing at all? Are they always the subject of global fame or are they frequently obscured from the public’s gaze and imagination? In this charming departure from the usual yawnful, consumerist commentary, Jolyon Fenwick and Marcus Husselby conduct a judicious review of the year’s available treasures. Their (almost) serious-minded selection takes the reader on a sublimely itinerant journey: from icons of high and popular culture to turning-points in history; from the apex of Hollywood glamour to the most closely-guarded of government secrets; from 104km above the earth to 100ft below the London streets; from the loftiest prices of the world’s great salerooms to the gloriously free-of-charge.
Items featured include: King Kong’s Head, a collection of the Braille edition of Playboy, secret MI6 tunnels, Gandhi’s glasses, Steve McQueen’s motorbike licence, the Space Shuttle Endeavour, Michaelangelo’s first ever painting and the last picture of Marilyn Monroe.
The ninth issue of Acne Paper addresses the dual themes of Art and Spirituality, and explores the relationship between these two inextricably linked areas of study.

Being Tyler Brule is a publication about Tyler Brûlé. Or rather, it’s a publication about the fascination of the jetset lifestyle and attitude that he portrays through his writing in Monocle and FT.
You can read that the blog was inspired by Gridskipper´s series “What would Tyler Brûlé do?”. But even more, as they say, by this clip:
