RUNTmag
RUNTmag is a magazine designed for creatives who work across boundaries and with contradictions. People who describe their work with phrases like “darkly cute” or “cleverly stupid”. Who make text that's not quite poetry or prose. Who write articles where you can't quite tell whether they're serious or not.
While only restricting media to something that can fit on a flat page, RUNTmag looks for two characteristics above all others:
-
Playfulness
-
Whether with form, aesthetic, function, mood, etc. RUNTmag needs any of it's submissions to have a certain irreverential curiosity towards “what things could be if I did this”
-
-
And Appropriateness
-
The fact that, despite whatever madness is happening, it is apparent that there is some sort of cohesive narrative, aesthetic or logic behind the work in which every piece fits that ties it together in an holistic sense.
