Just Arrived... NEW TSHIRTS BY AMMO

"Uno, Dos, Tres...Lucha!"

"Cassette & Pencil"


"Beards are Weird"

Dave Hughes of Ammo & Koodooo Magazines has just produced a new range of tees featuring 3 different designs. The T-shirts have been printed using water based, non-toxic ink. They've also been screen printed by hand in the UK. The T-shirts are 100% cotton and have a vintage wash effect and come with a relevant badge. They are £20 each and available to buy from Material but you have to be quick as there are limited numbers! Once they've gone there's no guarantee Ammo will re-print any of the designs so if you like a certain T-shirt get it quick as it may sell out.

NEW IN AT MATERIAL


LULA magazine is created for those who love fashion, music, art, & make believe. LULA is gentle, whimsical and ethereal in tone, mixing high fashion to fall in love with and interviews that feel like late night chats with people you wish you knew.


Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra. Fantastic menagerie. A large format hardcover book published by Taschen that measures an impressive 28 x 37cm and costs a mere £45.

At first glance, Walton Ford’s large-scale, highly-detailed watercolors of animals may recall the prints of 19th century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear, and others of the colonial era. But a closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe, full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the 'operatic' nature of traditional natural history themes.
Leonardo da Vinci Taschen special edition hardcover book with slipcase- also a whopping 25 x 37 cm in size and only £45.

New issue of IdN Now in Stock


We now have in stock the new issue of IdN magazine- The Self Promotion issue...

There are few professions for which self-promotion is more important then that of graphic designers, for it is on the material that they produce to sell their own services that they will be judged. And if designers can’t design a decent piece of self-promotional materials, what hope do they have of convincing a potential client that they could do a good job for them? Our biggest-ever feature, presenting the self-referential work of 25 artists and their views on how best to introduce yourself to the world
