January's Magazines: Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani Cover Stars.

Posted on by

Lady Gaga takes the cover of Vanity Fair. She tells Vanity Fair: ‘I can’t commit to being an adult- I’m not ready.’

One of the main reasons I subscribe to Vanity Fair is the intelligent articles. I get my monthly dose of politics and economics. This month is no exception, there are brilliant articles to help you understand the economical crisis and a brilliant article on George F. Kennedy.

I really enjoyed Henry Aldord’s article on manners. It’s a sample from his book, Would it kill you to stop doing that?

  • Vanity Fair take Celine Dion out to lunch and she tells them she has over 3000 pair of shoes.
  • There is a brilliant article on Rick Perry, can he comeback?
  • Salman Rushdie on Lewis Carroll’s struggle to write his second book. ‘Follow that syndrome’ and how it helped him. Great piece.
  • The Japanese workers cleaning up Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
  • Rebecca Eaton, who has put her stamp on Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs amongst others.

  • And P.D. James answers the Proust Questionnaire.

Marie Claire has Kelly Rowland on the cover. She talks Beyonce, men, music and admits she has cellulite.

There is a lot of clothes and shoes that will help you plan your wardrobe for next year, and lots of sparkly stuff for Christmas.

There is also a 2011 in review. Most magazines do this in December, watch out for Frosts.

  • Why famous men cheat, and does it sound like your man? Good article, and Lizzie Cundy tells Marie Claire how it felt when her husband cheated on her. Forgive and forget?

Nathan Love Delivers “A Very Digital Xmas” Animation and Illustrations for Esquire Magazine and Director/Contributing Editor Barry Sonnenfeld

NEW YORK — Award-winning animation studio Nathan Love (www.NathanLove.com) is delighted to share news of its recent contributions to the December issue of Esquire, the leading men’s lifestyle magazine, for its holiday gift guide feature presented by contributing editor and world renowned filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld.

“The guys at Nathan Love took on a project that I thought would be impossible to pull off and turned it into a great experience,” said Darhil Crooks, Esquire’s art director. “Their enthusiasm about every aspect of the ‘Xmas with Barry’ showed through in the final product. They were able to take something that Esquire has been doing for years to another level.”

“2010 has been a breakthrough year for our studio, and this project is another example of our expansion across all media,” began Joe Burrascano, Nathan Love’s executive creative director. “After starting out four years ago as a pure 3D character animation studio, we’ve now grown into a true, full-service production company. More and more agencies and brands are coming to us to handle high-profile projects that include live-action, animation, and/or VFX, and our audio division has been booked all year.”

“Producing this holiday animation for Esquire allowed us to explore more of the world of traditional 2D animation and illustration for print,” added Mike Harry, Nathan Love’s executive producer. “Collaborating with Esquire’s art director Darhil Crooks was a great experience, and working with filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld was both an honor and a lot of fun. We hope our enthusiasm comes through in the feature, and invite everyone to please stay tuned-in as our adventures continue.”

For this project, Burrascano served as creative director, working alongside Mike Harry, animation director Robin Steele, designers Sigmund Lambrento and Jessica Namnum, animator Stieg Retlin and music composer and sound designer Drew Skinner. The challenges presented by Crooks and Sonnenfeld called for Nathan Love’s crew to deliver a full-page print layout introducing the feature story, as well as three more partial-page layouts, miscellaneous illustrated images of the famous director and his dog Lucky, numerous props and items related to the story’s content, and a :70 animated film showing Sonnenfeld and Lucky putting the featured holiday gifts to use.

The film was also finished and optimized for mobile delivery, to take full advantage of Esquire’s international cross-platform distribution, which includes print, online and mobile editions, as well as its new iPad App launched in October.

“This was our first time working with Robin Steele,” Harry explained, “and his experience working as a Disney animator taught us all a lot about traditional animation. Robin and Joe both have a great sense of comedic timing, and they had a great time collaborating together. They set up the gags to unfold in one, static scene, and let the madness ensue.”

Key artistic tools for the artists at Nathan Love included original illustrations and Adobe Creative Suite, and for the animated content, Adobe After Effects.
