[Pretty Good Summer / Pretty Good Zine (more like magazine or full-on book) was sent to Booklet a week ago. The photographs were compiled by James Nord, an “accidental photographer, amateur cyclist, sartorial stickler,” etc. based in New York City and the document was designed byTravis Ekmark, an Atlanta-based designer and strategist. Seemingly as a result of the curator’s own preference, the compilation and the photographs come off as accidental remnants of summer (sun on the multiple backs in the book, the ways of June turned August light, the particular quality of what that light does in photographs). The casual album turns considered collection as a result of the writing (John O’Leary) and the design work. Ekmark opts for two tone and a classic font, the sort of intentional minimalism in design work that offers sporadic content its own form of resolve.]
