Farran is stoked on getting this thing published finally and getting close to another story for QS with Ian Browning, a walking tour of Leeds skate spots and sculptures led by my friend Harry Meadley, PLANK issue 2, working Robin Kirkham’s design studio, An Endless Supply, on some skate projects, and having filmed videos with friends.
Mike is stoked going to the last Wolves game of the season and biking around on a beautiful Minneapolis and @leofromnewyawk on Instagram.
Templeton is stoked on seeing family and revisiting the place of his first experiences with skateboarding.

This was a good interview. I read the Quartersnacks article and in an era when print is dead, it is refreshing to see that a bunch of mags are making physical copies. Also nice to learn about the assorted strategies and graphic design planning that goes into covers.
Somehow I didn't know or forgot Jessie Van Roechoudt was involved with Mess.
All the mags in 1990s except for Thrasher had different logos often. Slap and Big Brother were always mixing it up. Big Brother had to stop after they were bought by Larry Flynt. Marketing decided one logo they did worked the best so they had to stay with that one. It makes sense, but it takes away from some creativity. Slap ran some arty covers when you could get away with that. Even Thrasher sprinkled in some strange ones over the years.
I like Thrasher's October 1992 cover with Daniel Powell doing a noseblunt on a curb. The photo is by Chris Ortiz. It's got great use of text to frame the trick and it just looks cool. Very 1990s without being 1990s, if that makes sense. Scott Conklin for the July 1993 Transworld by Dave Swift is another notable front.
The two frame sequence is so-so. It can go either way. The six shot single frame sequences that Spike Jonze and Thrasher were doing are more impressive. Again though you can overdo it with too much of the same thing. The same goes for words on covers. A good mix of no titles and titles from month to month would be the way to go.
