Baby got Bak



If you head over to the Bak Magazine website at www.bakdergisi.com you can download a great design oriented magazine filled with nearly 300 pages (and nearly 30mb - be warned!) of creative content. Don't let the hot chick on the front fool you though, this isn't Maxim. This Istanbul based magazine is packed with some wonderful images from some truly creative guest artists in addition to a handful of interviews with the cream of the crop. If you're a creative type, you'll find this both inspiring and humbling. If you're just looking for some eye candy, I'm sure you'll find a lot to nibble on.

The theme of this issue is 'dream'. If you enter their website here, you can also find six past issues to download with the themes 'wrong', 'white', 'old', '2050', 'game' and 'road'. Great stuff to keep on your desktop if you're stuck for inspiration.



One of my favorites in this issue is the work of photographer Patrick Hoelck. He has sleek stylish portraits of everyone from Thom Yorke to Clint Eastwood. And if you can make Thom Yorke look stylish, you've got to be good. You can see more at his website www.patrickhoelck.com.



I also loved the work of Scottish designer/photographer/illustrator Alan Campbell. You can find lots more of his swirly glossy goodness at www.emohoc.co.uk.

Happy clicking!
