Vanessa Lam & the S.S.I.P.A.C.A.
Yesterday I was graced with what Los Angeles designer, Vanessa Lam, calls an “infographic zine about UFOs.” If you aren’t familiar with Vanessa’s work, you should visit vanessalam.net and prepare to be mesmerized by brilliant use of color and typography. Her work is outstanding.
The Society for Scientific Inquiry of Paranormal Atmospheric and Cosmic Anomalies piece is a 48-page newsprint publication chocked full of vintage black and white photography and great typography driven infographics. Just beautiful. Not to mention the inspiration for the zine is something just asking to get repurposed into something like this. Concept and execution are a delight.
Order the piece online here.

I ordered this as well and it pretty much has me floored. The ultra thin newsprint bleeeds beautifully…drenched with the black ink it has a beautiful, archaic feel. Like you found this in your grandparents attic…the grandparents you haven’t seen in years and their disappearance is still a mystery. Haha.
So sweet, I’d really like to sit down with this if you can part with it for a night. It’d be fun to look it over with other dudes too.
I hate that someone else had this idea. Let’s find this lady and beat her up.
