- Why we did it
- Article by Alain Latour on February 17, 2010
What do you like?We must have asked over one hundred people that very question, and this magazine is the answer.
Newspapers can be limiting. You are obligated to write a certain way, to only cover certain things, and everything must follow a specific grid. Sometimes this can help foster creativity, being forced to work within parameters. But after 36 years of publishing, we feel that it’s time to step outside of the box.
Producing a magazine was a no-brainer. We were free to write how we felt and to present it in a more accessible way.This magazine was composed with you in mind. That’s right.
