People are always freaking out about how big this magazine is. Google it and you'll find a good serving of headlines that go something like 'POSTER SIZED MADNESS', 'MAGAZINE BIGGER THAN YOUR MUM' and 'IT'S REALLY BIG'. Dudes should chill. It's called broadsheet, and it's been around for a while.
What's more exciting is the fact that the creators of this mag don't try to dictate the order in which you explore its pages. The theme, 'I Love We', references The Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, which was written in a way that meant its chapters could be read in any order. So, fittingly, the pages of issue 9 come as separate elements in a snugly fitted box.
You pull them out and consume them in whatever way feels right. I chose to spread them around myself on the floor of our office, getting in everyone's way. You can do what you like. Go bananas!
Inside the box you'll find photography, illustrations, fashion, words, a section by Burroughs himself, and an excerpt from Lucky Kunst by Gregor Muir. It's a small collection of inspiring things, brought together with the aim of generating an environment where ideas reason with visual pleasure. Oh, and it's REALLY BIG.
