Why a magazine?
︎As a way of getting a handle on the future, a magazine can represent everything from complex global issues to the quotidian fears, hopes, dreams, ambitions and desires of everyone from school kids to heads of state. And the thing is, for a compelling, evocative magazine, the fullness and complexity of the world can be represented beautifully in so many rich ways: feature articles; opinion essays; brand advertising; help wanted classifieds; even the mailing label.
︎These kinds of editorial features speak for the world you are working towards in all its multivalent characteristics. The magazine exists in a world where products are being sold through advertising, where social upheaval is reflected through both reporting and day to day interactions with the world, and where transformations brought about through technological innovation meet the lived, human world head on.
