Making A Magazine
September 14th, 2006 by Leusaj
Two friends and I recently began putting together a new magazine for the visual and literary arts. Being the sort of individuals that were raised on our mother’s fashion magazines and later hand-made ‘zines, we found out that where the high color glossies might be lacking in substance, the others were dragging their feet in terms of aesthetics. Content is, of course, everything, but style must be there to hold its hand. Bridge the sensibilities of the two, we came up with something of our own. Thus was born soBigsoHUGE Magazine. We might be little, but we like to think BIG. The main concept of our little baby is that we want to provide global freelance artists and writers with a censor-free soapbox. We like to think of it as more of a hand-held art installation, if you will.
So far, soBIGsoHUGE had been dedicated to collecting articles and submissions of artwork from people who want to contribute. It will be published on a quarterly basis, with the theme of content changing with the seasons. This fall, our first issue will be a classic, dedicated to thoughts on higher education in America and “ Back To School”.
As supporters of freelance artists in general, we are very interested in the concept and workings of the Fine Art Registry, and would like to form an encouraging partnership. We are always interested in freelancers and subscribers who might like to contribute to our cause. For more information, e-mail us at : sobigsohuge@yahoo.com
