Monocle Magazine
Posted by Adrian on July 1, 2008
I am a big fan of magazines, I don’t think they will ever die. I hope not anyway. The internet was to replace books at one point, e-books remember that? I also don’t think the internet will replace glossy magazines, the internet serves a purpose, but it’s a hyper anxious medium. It’s not a relaxing environment. But a magazine is though, the smells (you know that toxic glossy paper smell), the style, page layouts and photos. So you can relax with a magazine.
In saying that, I like magazines that are innovating, broad in their coverage of various mediums and are good reference points.
Monocle is that magazine, it is good read. Everything is this may from geopolitical coverage, economics, sociology, fashion, popular culture, even some manga in there too! (Japanese comic art) Truly a magazine for the 21st century. I dig it anyway, check it out monocle.com
