Genius Bar Recommendation Not So Genius

I was at the Apple Store a couple of days ago getting my iPod repaired. Done deal in 15minutes (great!). So I thought I woulld ask if they carried the protection pack that safeguards your laptop from hand/oil wrist wear-and-tear. The "Genius" tells me that they do not carry such a thing and suggested I got to JandR as they have what I'm looking for... Well fast-forward to today. I go to JandR only to find that they do not carry anything close to what I was looking for. Thanks "Genius" for the 45minute wild goose chase...

The 10 Influential Creators for Magazine Design by Yasushi Fujimoto


This looks really good. See below for details.

Words from Rizzoli:
About the book: What is magazine design? What are magazine designers and art directors thinking, and in which directions are they heading? Armed with those simple questions, the author visited ten prominent magazine art directors who have been influential in the world of magazine design: Christophe Brunnquell (Purple), Work In Progress (Self Service), Yorgo Tloupas (Crash and Intersection), Jop Van Bennekom (Re-Magazine and Fantastic Man), M/M (Vogue Paris), David Carson (Ray-Gun), Tadanori Yokoo (Ryuko Tsuushin), Heikichi Harata (Garo And Heaven), Gento Matsumoto (Rits), and B, Kazunari Hattori (Here And There). By presenting each art director’s background, design style, and how they influenced the world of magazine design, Fujimoto tried to find answers to his questions. Along with interviews, the author shows page after page of the magazine designs of each director as well as photographs of their work environments. The art direction of the book is completed by the author himself.

About The Author: Yasushi Fujimoto, an art director and the head of his own design studio "Cap," has worked for many well-known Japanese magazines including Marie Claire Japan, Vogue Nippon and GQ Japan. He has also directed advertising projects for such clients as Louis Vuitton Japan and several apparel brands. In 1996, Fujimoto opened a gallery "Gallery Rocket" for young designers, photographers and illustrators to exhibit their works.
