Wet Magazine

 
 











Wet the Magazine of Gourmet Bathing, was originally published between 1976-81 in Venice, California by Leonard Koren. The art of the magazine came from the idea of Leonard art work, of what he called 'bath art'. WET covered a range of cultural issues and was widely knows for its graphic art. It started as a simple one man operation that included artwork and text from friends and acquaintances which eventually grew in to the magazine company.

 
I find the graphics used for the covers of WET magazines are very abstract, or Pop Art like with the bright colours used.


They all include photographic images of people and also graphic images perhaps added from the computer.

The typography used is all pretty similar and doesn't vary much other than the colours used on the different additions of each magazine.
