Frankie magazine

Big fan of this magazine. Frankie is a Australian based magazine that is targeted at women and men ' looking for a magazine that's as smart, funny, sarcastic, friendly, cute, rude, arty, curious and caring as they are.' It covers a wide range of cultural subjects such as art, design , photography, fashion , music and craft. They aim to 'surprise and delight' their readers. http://www.frankie.com.au

They also support young artist asking different designers to create a cover for every quarterly issue. The whole magazine has a fun comforting feel to it. Even though it sources its stories within Australia the relevance of the dissections is international. In a podcast that is supported by the magazine , Wowee , has discussions with artist around the subjects of ethical design , start careers, dealing with clients, approaching design and building businesses. Listening to a podcast that they record with Abbey Rich they went into a in depth conversation around sourcing ethical materials, the expense of them and the impact this has on the products pricing and making. http://www.woweepodcast.com/episode-11
