Sad Mag themes:

A list of possible themes for Sad Mag issues, all of which have the potential to be funny, poignant and, just a little bit, sad:

• What I found on the internet
• Prom night/wasted youth
• Sports day
• The sea side
• A grand day out (field days/school trips/days out that just don't quite live up to expectations)
• Small errors - 'whoops, I forgot'
• Giving and receiving

Molly also knocked up these, just messing around on Photoshop! I think she's starting to hit on something though, starting to move toward an aesthetic that could work for SadMag.

She found these images while looking for dog-snoods on Etsy, which is very charming: in this publication the internet could be  source of inspiration when looking for the weird and wonderful, as well as a very accessible means of communication between us and the reader. We should be careful not to become too reliant on the web though, in order for Sad Mag for retain a human quality.

We definitely need to start thinking about this project in terms of the design , as we have already decided as a group that although this is not a publication about design, there will be a strong emphasis on good design and high quality images and production.
