That's interesting

After the release of our #02 Money issue we received a lot of reactions. Fontanel wrote about us: "an experimental magazine, made with love." That's right!

The Beroepsorganisatie Nederlandse Ontwerpers (BNO) also mentioned us in Vormberichten 8 / 2011 - thanks!

Now we're excited about the next LINDA magazine, with Crisis as a subject and That's A Magazine mentioned in it... Available in march!

We'll keep you posted - in the meanwhile we're exploring our first ideas about #03. What's next?

That's discovering the world

Starting a magazine is one. Designing a magazine is fun. Promoting and  selling a magazine is - as we say in Dutch - different piece of cake. Which means: that's really something different. With a lot of energy we discovered Facebook, did our first steps in the Twitter community and proudly presented #01 The Lost issue to shops around the corner. Nothing digital, just D or M, with a nice dress and a Lost issue in our hands. We choose shops that sell (graphic) design, paper, art, books or fashion from young designers. So now we're available in Arnhem, Amsterdam, Amersfoort and Eindhoven! We keep using social media to stay in touch with people and events that inspire us. And to share the work we do and keep up with the work of others. Last week we suddenly got the same question a few times: how do we do that? So that's what we're working on now: a quick and fun way to learn about using social media for yourself or your company. To be continued!

NOP: That's having fun

Thank you Montse, for these pictures of a very nice evening at Lux, Nijmegen.

Much for NOP

What a great evening, yesterday in Nijmegen! That's A Magazine was one of the speakers for OP[E]N, with a presentation of our work, our process and our plans for the future. We had a nice conversation with the audience, and answered a lot of questions. 'Why did you start a magazine?', was one of the questions. 'What is your market?' We started from our own enthousiasm for making a paper magazine, and that's still driving us towards the next steps. Afterwards we invited everybody on stage to take a close look at the Lost issue and some sketchbooks. And suddenly we were selling magazines like drinks!
Thanks to the Nijmeegs Ontwerp Platform and everybody who was there : )
The other presentations were inspiring: Dtile and Hendrik' showed the way they work. Very different, but one thing in common: we all have the desire to create beautiful things that have value and meaning for people.

Sieraden, dekens en huisjes

That's A Magazine was vrijdagavond in galerie Marzee, bij de eindpresentatie van Montse Hernandez i Sala (grafisch ontwerp) en Trinidad Contreras (sieraden). Mooie beelden, fijn weerzien en vol nieuwe inspiratie weer naar huis. De gezichtjes zijn onderdeel van een mooi project van Anja Brunt: 365 faces.
En nog een verrassing helemaal op zolder: de gekleurde huisjes van Onno Boekhoudt.
