Cover countdown 2015: December

This is it – the end of the year, both IRL and in our 2015 Cover Countdown. Yesterday’s vote was obliterated by the social media might of Shellsuit Zombie, who spurred their followers into action and won a resounding victory. Good work zombies – I’m looking forward to seeing you back in tomorrow’s final vote to decide the cover of the year.

And special mention needs to go to Christina Button, whose After Effects magic set Shellsuit Zombie’s melting / swirling / oozing type into motion…

@StackMagazines I vote @ShellsuitZombie. As Modest Mouse said, 'even if things get heavy we'll all float on alright' pic.twitter.com/Svt26x8rES

Fresh air and creativity: issue two of French / English outdoors magazine @lesothers has a beautifully frosty winter feeling

An entire issue dedicated to forgotten ideas worth a second look (like the inflatable tanks created by the U.S. army during the Second World War) the latest @worksthatwork is completely fascinating and well worth a read

A new look for @anewtypeofimprint – look closely and you should just about see the debossed rectangle framing the centre of the page. Beautiful minimalist stuff.
