Slanky® Magazine Issue 4: Forever… redefining the print format with a reminder that magazines should always be both fresh and fun for the artists/creatives involved as well as the readers who’ll use them for an escape. By definition, a ‘magazine’ is a form of periodical publication that contains both images and articles (often based on a specific subject or aimed at a particular readership)… and the term ‘print publication’ simply refers to any kind of information, story or work that’s been made available to people in a printed format. However… neither definition actually states what a ‘print magazine’ has to look like, does it?
There’s already a tonne of talented creatives making similar print publications the conventional way but after sticking to these ‘rules’ for 3 years, we thought it’s about time someone shook things up! Instead of making another 100+ page physical copy for people to flick through and add to their ever-rotating coffee table pile, this year, we wanted to create something different. We wanted to create something tangible that could actually bring people together; something that everyone could carry around with them and integrate into their daily lives… forever! So… a 4th yearly issue of print as a deck of playing cards? We say why not.
