Inspiration of the moment #2

With these blog posts, I hope to inspire both sides of the design community. One post may consist of news pages with tons of beautifully executed text with the next featuring a vector graphic with nothing but a title off in expansive white space. Whatever I find inspires me and what I hope will inspire you. The work may not be current — in fact, it may be from years ago — but it will be nonetheless inspirational.

Why is this inspirational?

This flickr stream of scans of the magazine “Intelligence in Lifestyle” is awesome. Not only are the covers simple and great, but the inside pages are equally amazing.
There is a subtle old style — almost regal meets the old west – but this is all mixed with an extremely modern design philosophy (It reminds me a bit of the Camel cigarette package redesign). There is a strong grid in place and the whitespace is used to full effect.
The news graphics are no less impressive. They are packed with information while maintaining a visually stunning look.
For every designer out there, this should inspire you.
