Design Week seems to be taking a certain amount of joy in Condé Nast doing a slight repeat of a prior NME cover. Beth Ditto has posed nude for their new launch title 'Love', however the NME first featured her nude in 2007. Though I would hardly call the original a triumph! Personally I don't really see the problem. Here's a star that likes to celebrate her size and femininity, so its not surprising for her to pose in the all together. Lets face it no one bats an eye when Pamela Anderson does it and she's appeared on countless covers. Love's version is far more accomplished but it doesn't really move me enough to drag me to the newsstand.

Elsewhere at Condé Nast UK they are busying themselves launching a new version of 'Wired'. I hope it lasts the course this time.

In the world of corporate communications McDonalds has received an award for its internal mag 'MDUK'. The title is designed to be read by its young staff that serve food to McD's customers. It looks like the title loves to use copious amounts of DIN, which isn't such a bad thing!
