At the start of the month a package lands on your doormat containing an interesting magazine of some sort.

This month we got Boat Magazine, produced by a London design studio. In their words:

We pulled together the most talented people we know; writers, photographers, illustrators, musicians… gave them a blank canvas, and set them loose on the streets of Sarajevo. We had one goal – to tell a new story

Boat Magazine

I was flipping through and spotted a bit that said:

Designed/Art Directed by Luke Tonge

Bearing in mind I follow his Tumblr I probably should’ve been aware of this. I checked it was the right guy and, sure enough, at the back of the mag it says:

Luke Tonge is a creative (and Falmouth graduate) currently living and working in Birmingham, UK. As part of the influential FormFiftyFive his voice in the industry continues to grow. A lover of ice-cream floats, all things typographic, and Bill & Ted – he wears shorts all year round. Google ‘Luke Tonge’ to know more.

I bumped into him at the Pointe Blank launch (here’s his contribution to that project) and can confirm the shorts thing.

Oh, hang on, I’ve just spotted Jonathan Cherry was involved in this too. He’s a photographer from (last time I checked) Stourbridge and has provided images for an article called Manchester City, 4am.
