This is kind of an odd thing. Designed and created by Tomato design collective of London, this “typographic journal of NY” is, I think, an interesting experiment in graphic design and typography. Frankly, I’m not so sure how successful it is, but I admire the attempt. Karl Hyde, co-founder of Tomato, is also co-founder of the electronic music group Underworld, and this book grew out of the process of creating Underworld’s acclaimed 1994 album, “Dubnobasswithmyheadman.”
