As pioneers of digital media, it’s not often that print gets our feathers rustled. Random magazine’s latest issue, VIII, hosts stunning images of the sport we all love in a mind-blowingly designed format. We got our hands on the (more book like than magazine) magazine and were absolutely stunned by its content.

Random have taken quite a niche stance on the market, not sticking to the same design for it’s covers. In fact, as far as sticking to a brand image is concerned, they’ve redesigned the age old repetitive stereotype and have set out to not only change the content of each edition of the magazine, but the materials too. This level of creative flair does not come cheap though as the magazine retails for $25.00. We have to admit that the print we got our hands on is beautifully crafted, with a sleeve-like exterior which shouts quality. Keeping up appearances the photographs and content are both of high quality too, which kept us satisfied from beginning to end.

Cut out on the front cover screams attention to detail and quality.
