It took us about a month for it to finally sink in and we still can’t believe it.
A D&AD 2010 In Book Award for Entire Magazines in the Magazine and Newspaper Design category, placing Underscore with the rest of the international magazines we’ve stacked/aligned our shelves with; A Guide, Apartamento, Qompendium and not failing to mention Singapore’s own Werk and Guerillazine which gave Theseus from WORK, pencils last year.
The best part about it was that the jury was led by none other than the godfather of magazines/newspapers, Jeremy Leslie, Design Director of magCulture and co-curator of Colophon. They should knight him for raising the level of editorial design to where it is today.
Again, I know we’ve done this a million times over, but we would sincerely like to thank you everyone of you who’ve supported us with your constant support/encouragement, as well as naysaying/disapproval for we could have never have pressed on this far without you.
As we’re now breaking all laws of time/physics for N°2, we’re keen as candy to announce its launch in July/August. Kindly stay attuned.

We just received news that we won a Silver Award for the Spatial Category in Retail for Kith Café in the HKDA Asia Design Awards 2009. And the best part, Thomas Heatherwick was a judge. We’ve been huge fans of his organic work since Littlehampton’s East Beach Cafe.
We cannot thank the folk at Kith enough for the trust they bestowed upon us, with complete design freedom for their branding, interior and furniture. We really wanted Kith to not just be another café, but a physical and emotional experience that could well justify their sincerity in doing what they do best, coffee (and our current favourite, kith’s special hot dog) from the heart.
So if you catch us there this week, be sure to ask for your free cappuccinos, on us. See you at Kith!

We just received our invites to the opening reception of the AIGA 50 Books / 50 Covers exhibition in New York.
Dear J, will be showcased during the exhibition at the National Design Center, followed by Next: AIGA Design Conference in Denver. In addition, selections become part of the AIGA Design Archives, and are documented in 365: AIGA Year In Design 28, an annual print publication. The physical artifacts join the AIGA Design Archives in the Denver Art Museum.
The exhibition starts today and runs through November 21, 2007. We’re unfortunately bound here by our work and won’t be able to make it (unless of course we dump everything and head over, which we just might). If you happen to be in New York during this period, please do drop by and give our book a little pat, rub and a flip.
Check out the AIGA 50 Books / 50 Covers 2007 selections.
