Hermann Zschiegner writes: “On January 6, 2008 — continuing her message of peace — Yoko Ono took out a full-page ad in the New York Times with a simple, yet familiar message: Imagine Peace. I placed a simple cardboard cutout with the word WAR over her advertising and didn’t remove it until August 19, 2010, the day the last US combat brigade left Iraq. The sun had yellowed the paper and a trace of the word WAR was left, slowly fading away as sunlight now hits the original ad.”

Distance is a new-ish quarterly journal, edited by Nick Disabato, focusing on design and technology. Each issue features three lengthy essays. You can subscribe or buy single issues in digital or print formats. Full disclosure: I have not read the essays, but I have major respect for anyone who believes enough in design writing that they would put their money into a handsome printed publication.

Applefied Ads by Bryan Evans, turning any product or thing through Apple’s “Product + Product Name + Hands-Touching-Product” ad formula into an object of desire. Sort of.
