Our new issue includes 3 features loosely related to the topic of space. Firstly a typographical tour of the Solar System, then the iconography of Star Wars is juxtaposed with the contemporary architectural setting, and finally, we have an extended interview with Seth Shostak, the senior scientist at the SETI Institute. Seth maintains that we will find ET by the year 2025. He’s a fascinating guy, and the interview is great reading. Check out our new issue to explore the above features in full.

The new issue of PILOT contains 3 striking architecture features. The intro spread to each feature is included above, with a shot from each story. Each feature has much more inside the actual magazine. Each feature is based on a stunning architecture, very strong photography, and we’ve tried to present them to best effect, through the use of strong typography and the magic of graphic design.

Here is the cover of PILOT issue #6. It is available from Auckland Mag Nation stores NOW. And from wherever good magazines are sold, nationwide from Monday December 19.

Yes, that’s David Dallas on the cover. Doing a pretty fine Don Draper impression in a Crane Brothers suit & Karen Walker ring. Photography by Guy Coombes, Fashion styling by Emma Gleason. Lots more shots of Dave, and a big interview inside the issue. Will post a few more highlights from the issue soon.

Here at PILOT we’re in deadline mode. Look for issue #6 to hit stores in December. We think it is shaping up to be a strong issue.
