I just read in ReadyMade Mag that, contrary to popular belief, the magazine industry is flourishing. Even with youth’s current fascination with technological social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube (and the Newspaper industry tanking), magazine readership and subscription sales have actually increased. Young people make their own Youtube videos, upkeep their Facebook page at constant, and subscribe to their own favorite magazines via web.
I love the fast-paced culture of entertainment, media, and magazines, therefore I’ve been planning my senior project: a prototype culture magazine about creative living in the Pacific Northwest. Been trying to think of a good name! Any suggestions?
Our latest idea is: Flannel —- like a down-to-earth/Seattle grunge/farmer version of Nylon?
I’d love for any and all of you guys to contribute, if you’re willing and/or interested. I want the stories to be relevant, whimsical, funny, practical, and smart. You don’t even have to write a story or provide any artwork, but just, as a consumer of creative culture, pitch me a story idea, and i’ll make it happen!
