Paul Willoughby, designer of Little White Lies, is blogging for It’s Nice That this week.

Industry consolidation: Hearst pays e561m for Lagardere’s international magazines – Elle, Red Psycologies; Bauer Media look set to buy BBC magazines.

Australia’s Process magazine has a smart new website.

Relaunched Swedish design magazine Form launches this week with an open party in London tomorrow. All welcome at The Gopher Hole, 350 – 354 Old Street, 7pm–late.

Off-subject but a must-see in London is the newly opened Wim Crouwel exhibition at the Design Museum. Graphics shows are rare enough but exhibitions of this scale and scope even rarer.
