Nylon: Par Avion

by Aprile | published: Sep 11, 2008

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I love everything about magazines. Okay, so that's not much of a secret at all, but it does explain what I am showing you today. I collect old and new magazines of all kinds, sometimes I read them, sometimes I just use them in my collages.


One thing I've noticed about one of my favourites, Nylon, is that most of the fan mail they get is shockingly relevant. Readers use the magazine to create collages, send them in, and each issue Nylon shows some of those collages in their "Par Avion" section. Some of them are really great considering that the creators are not professional artists or designers.
