FROM THE EDITOR

Make an impression. As far as imperatives go, this one’s mileage may vary. And though it makes the start of one hell of a pep talk, the hiccup is in the execution: Enter subjectivity—the troublemaking nemesis of good intentions. We’ve all been there—said something, done something or written something that wasn’t quite received the way we had intended. And while that occasionally plays out well, more often than not, it just leaves you feeling played. The solution? Better communication! Sigh…

I know. I was hoping for a better answer, too. But since I don’t have one, we’re offering this: an entire issue dedicated to making an impression. We’ve got tips for designing logos, advice to get you networking, a book list to inspire your creative process—we’re even exploring the world of online dating. But that’s not all. We’re also taking an up-close-and-personal look at online identity management, as well as the beautiful art of letterpress.

We haven’t forgotten about your taste buds, either. Rounding out this month’s articles are our favourite recipes for fruit season—cherry pie, Italian plum squares, peach bruschetta with goat cheese and honey, pork tenderloin with a sticky plum glaze, chicken salad with grilled nectarines and, of course, a boozy little cocktail to remember.

Ready to jump in? Yes, is the right answer.

Go on, now. Make an impression!
