so i think it would be really cool to start my own magazine.
i'm a huge magazne enthusiast (from HEEB, CREATIVE, Adbusters, Wired, CMYK, Lurzer's ARCHIVE, SLAM, and TIME, to Swindle, Urb, Mental Floss, and New York.

I understand that there are many, many magazines out there, however I believe there is room for more.  It's all about finding the right niche in the market.

------------------------------------------------------------
-I'm looking for suggesstions on what you would like to see in your ideal magazine.
------------------------------------------------------------

For instance, I think a good magazine should have the following characteristics:  freshness, hip graphics.  simple lay out.  "soft news" (more public-interest geared) stories.  satire.  originality.  innovative artwork.  innovative stories.  a very personal feel. distinctness.  a catchy name and complimentary logo.

anyway, please feel free to comment.
