I’m sure most of you have dreamt of having your own colourway of the classic Nike Dunk, well the guys over at PIG Magazine you can download some blank Photoshop psd files of the Dunk and some other classic trainers. If you are a follower of JAM Blog then you will probably realise I’m a few months behind on finding this site.

PS I would imagine there will be more regular posts on JAM Blog now Mark has settled at university.

After trawling through the Grain Edit website I stumbled upon friend of a friend Stuart Kolkaovic’s work on there. Which jogged my memory into checking his website out as I hadn’t for a while. I thought I’d share his work with you so head over to his site or his blog for more of his lively work.

Some of you may recognise his work from Document’s Big Push DVD sleeve from a couple of year’s ago, which has just undergone a revival under the Sidewalk brand.

This is all thanks to the wonder that is the Flash page turning technology which the traditional magazine publisher’s seem to be grabbing left, right and centre. Anyway there are loads of these services, I used Issuu but there are others that allow you to add animation to the product such as this quite nice Waitrose online magazine.

The artists involved have delivered some great results with a great variety of styles. The pieces are on display on the stairs between the front and back rooms for the next two weeks, so go have a look for yourselves.
