It's always something to look forward to at this time of the year: the summer edition of Monocle Mediterraneo.
This Monocle Med is the usual grouping of essays, photos, travel tips to some of the most exotic and glamorous spots in the world, culture, business, fiction, and the most attractive double page ads in a newspaper anywhere. I am assuming that Tyler's team, the ultimate protectors of detail and everything chic, have tons of participation on what type of ads get into Monocle Med. There is NOT a badly designed one in the mix. They all attract. They all enhance the content of the newspaper. I found myself stopping to look at the ads–isn't that the idea?
I asked Monocle Med publisher, Tyler Brule to summarize for me what's new in this summer's edition:
'The latest Monocle Med packs an extra punch this season with a hot new yellow pantone and a few subtle design tweaks. Perhaps the biggest story is our move into fiction with a specially commissioned little mystery set on a sunny Greek isle. For those who want to work on their tan we're also offering our story as a downloadable audio program as well via Monocle 24.'
