LESSONS IN MAGAZINES #04: ANP QUARTERLY

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

It’s become a trend among fashion companies and others aspiring to being considered hip to launch their own magazine – alas, they’re rarely worth the paper they’re printed on, copying and pasting what’s already out there. There’s one noble exception, though, which goes by the name of ANP Quarterly and is entirely sponsored by American [...]
