This is my favorite cover of the redesigned Standart so far! simply because the visual vibe is exactly how this summer feels to me. As a quarterly delivery, the cover really matters to me whether it is seasonal or not. I clearly had a first impression too, that the editorial photography in this issue is exceptionally good. Water Please! the photo feature remains my favorite piece after browsing from cover to the end a few times. I like every aspect of it, set design, photography, color edit, layout...and especially I’m so fond of glass works as daily vessels for drinks and delighful interior objects. Story wise, I enjoyed reading the interview with Fabiana Carvalho on sensory experiences and memories, a topic that I’m personally interested. I do read out line by line when I read books and magazines. With this one, I find myself gradually and unconsciously turn to English accent. Part of me started to imagine myself in a real conversation with Fabiana in London, where I try to simulate English accent based on my voice memories of those conversations with friends from England hah Does memories that involve sound and voice have the tendency to stay with us longer? I’m curious.
