I suppose it was a combination of thinking about all these things, plus finding out how cheap newspapers are to print, that led me and Ben to make this newspaper thing. It’s exciting because putting it in the world has clearly made all sorts of people think again about the newspaper format. Cheap paper, cheap printing, can make something beautiful and interesting. It’s a great form factor. Just because it’s attached to struggling business models doesn’t mean it will inevitably disappear.
(The important lesson to learn is that it’s totally okay to rip off other people’s ideas. It’s the only way you’ll ever come up with anything original.) More excellent pictures here! And some very interesting answers from the designer.
