G.I. Joe-themed men's magazine fashion page

[ggrr]

In real life, I work as an editor on DRIVEN, a Canadian men's general interest magazine (a bit like a small scale Esquire, you might say).

In our latest issue we ran this on our "Look" page (p 18):

DRIVEN Magazine | GEAR2 (http://www.drivenmag.com/gear2)

(You can zoom in for detail on that page)

I had nothing to do with concept or execution. Our fashion director had Joes as a kid, and came up with this concept as a platform for showing a bunch of camping gear. Our creative director--who otherwise couldn't care less about the toys, as far as I know--put it together.

I think the page is the bomb. I'm pretty sure you'll all get a kick out of it too.

For anyone interested, you can see reviews of all the "accessories" (camping gear) here:

Anyway, thanks for letting me indulge in a little self(ish) promotion.

Wow thats actually kinda cool!

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out how many of our regular readers will recognize the design.

I think the model and photographer both did a great job getting the dynamism contrast between the image on the package and the actual figure

That was awesome! Loved it.

Thanks for sharing. Well timed but forever cool.

Not to be too on-the-nose, but thanks for the attention.

I dig these boards, although I mostly lurk, so it's nice to have a little something to offer back.
