I think we have enough brilliant ideas to start four mags right now, but i am concerned about a cohesive feel to the mag. I noticed several common themes that came up for folks:
-Slowing down readers (inviting them into the safety of a fallout shelter, encouraging still images as appear in comic books, celebrating new ways to mess with text that force folks to go slowly).
-Materiality (hadwritten, DIY, clean/animation)
-Minimalist (don't fear white space, less we say the more we do)
-Retro (fallout shelters, handwriting, repurposing older images)
-Interaction (facebook, inhabiting a space)
One thing it seems we'll have to hash out is whether to mimic books or mimic space.
Really like the idea of a serious focus being placed on Facebook and Twitter as outreach for authors and readers.

Will we separate it:
One group - Audio
One group - Image
One group - Text
What does this do to celebration of integration of forms and modes?
