Afterzine
—This prim, tidy zine is just the thing for those craving print but still harboring short attention spans. Afterzine—the brainchild of Hamish Robertson, digital design editor at Vanity Fair—brings a whole bunch of talent together to create work loosely based on a central theme. Issue two’s subjects were about coincidence and Los Angeles, with the results running the gamut from interviews with Mike Mills and Miranda July to indie city guides and music recommendations from Zooey Deschanel. Robertson explained that the theme-duo was a happy accident—coincidence was the agreed-upon theme, but it turned out that many of the invited contributors had strong ties to L.A., and Robertson went with it. Afterzine—defined by its clean, straightforward design, the latest issue appearing on thick newsprint—is available online for $10 and at stores around the world, including Colette, Tate Modern, and Opening Ceremony.
