Guest imported_Tesseract Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I just got a copy of The Vapors...finnaly. I wont even talk about whats inside the mag. This note is just about the cover. Apart from the superior design, handstyles, composition, dope color schemes and all that stuff that we're used seeing from 12oz. I want to focus on something else, its a fact that the cover is minimalistic in a way....Have you noticed just how detailed and complex that thing is??? If you know what i'm talking about you had, if you dont, just hold the mag in an angle towards light and shit will start to pop out...seriously thats the smartest thing i've ever seen printed, all of you that use mags as a base for practising handstyles know what i mean, something similar is also on page 19. From a technical point of view i cant even think how the hell did they do that (on the cover) but apart from anything else its extremely interesting to me that it cant be copied in any way, that detail just cant be copied, scanned, photocopied...Its the way money is designed. Thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Just go to workmens or urbandesignz and look at the cover there. It's from the first and only issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Tesseract Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Here's the cover, the thing is you CANT see what i'm talking about here. Yeah, i'm talking about the scratchtag wich can be slightly seen above the 'S' on the vapors red tag, but that only a small detail.... Unfuckinbelievable.

Guest ?!?! Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 you know i got that mag about a month ago i was thinking that same thing. i remember i sat and stared at the cover in at all angles thinking how they did that just like rubbing my finger on it. it really is a dope cover. the skuf ykk interview and revs interview is good too.
