All the news that’s fit to paste…

For some Friday fun, how’s about NYTimes wallpaper at $1,000 a roll?

Artist A.J. Bocchino has created the design using Times headlines from 1990-2005.

“I collect headlines from the New York Times and use them as data for systems that generate complex networks and forms. The headlines are organized chronologically and color-coded according to subject. Global, national, and local events generate a continuous stream of news from which color patterns emerge,” says Bocchino in the description of the work at WallpaperLab.

Hold the front page – women guest edit magazine

Journalism.co.uk wonders if we’ve accidentally gone back in time, or missed the point here. A press release from Wallpaper* announces that three females creatives (yes! Women! Not men!) are to take the helm at the magazine for its October issue. And it’s their biggest issue of the year! The three talented ladies have each produced 20 editorial pages, ‘as well as designing their own cover’. The press release is entitled ‘GIRL POWER: THREE FEMALE CREATIVE LEGENDS GUEST EDIT WALLPAPER*’. Say no more.
