mankind mag: issue five.

Whew. After a few all-nighters and two pots of coffee, Mankind Mag is here! I’m terribly excited about this issue for two reasons:

1. LOADS of more content. We’ve got interviews, lists, exclusives and more— 32 pages of sheer bliss!
2. Handmade. It’s a movement that is near and dear to my heart and I loved focusing the mag on such a beautiful theme.

So, most of you know the drill. For those of you who are new to Mankind Mag, what you’ll be seeing is a 100% independent publication for lovers of our growing art/design community. Mankind Mag is free online or available for purchase. Here’s the breakdown:

Mankind Mag: Issue Five!
Online = FREE. Preview it here or download it here.
Print = $8.95. Purchase it here.

Are you so excited? Me, too.

If you love this issue, feel free to donate below— all proceeds go toward further development of the mag and will contribute to Mankind’s re-brand in January ’09! [More on this later...]


That’s all for today! I’m off for the evening until Friday when Papa Bill comes home from the hospital! Enjoy the issue, and spread the word with this nifty Mankind Mag badge!

    I want to ask you something too, I would like to make you a very short interview about this project, as you know I told about the magazine to my students of graphic design, they loved the project. So, when you have time, can I send you a few questions? tell me what you think and thank you very much!
