Starting off as a small project by a collective of friends, The Young and the Banging has exploded into something more formal and very appealing. Taking a style much like a yearbook, it showcases hand picked young people and companies in cities across the world exploring the different creative outlets that we are exposed to. Along with the creation of a book, galleries are also set up as part of the entire process. The latest installment involving downtown NYC will be releasing September 4th 2008 with an opening reception as well. More information can be obtain at their official website.

    It’s got Heron Preston’s name on it… the research is in vain. Expect a lot more, much more from this guy. Well executed book design. Pink! Clever play with type on the tit•le

    Actually if you go to the website, it shows what these girls do….. art mag contributers, students, company ceos. Do some fucking research before you knock a project.

    man this is totally ridiculous, its just a bunch of pictures (looks mainly like polaroids) of hipster/scene girls under 18 – which seem to be; well easy.
