Had "breakfast" at well known cafe in downtown South Melbourne today at lunchtime... met Penny - yes, you know who you are... and Penny is one of the people behind ... wait for it ... "Is Not Magazine"!!
I was very impressed with Penny - and I will be watching this "magazine" with great interest... a description of this magazine taken from the www.isnotmagazine.org website...
"Is Not Magazine is a magazine in the form of a 1.5m x 2m bill poster. From April 9, 2005, it has been on display at 50 outdoor poster sites in inner-city Melbourne, and will soon appear at a café, bar, bookstore or laundromat near you. It’s a design challenge and a reading experiment; a paper saving device; a bastion of editorial complexity and a grey area for the discerning communal reader. It enriches public space and brings reading to life. Approach it from any angle; bend down curiously; lean in for a closer look; embark on a treasure hunt to find a story that ends in another location."
