I was thinking more about the zine idea I mentioned a few days ago. I was thinking about how much I like it, but I was also thinking about logistics.
ah yes, logistics. a very important word, but a more important concept.
primarily, it's about networking. it's about the shortest distance between twenty points... but it's also about whether those twenty points need to be connected. each of those twenty points, mind you, is a person, and it needs to be considered as such. a human network.
the truth is this: it will be easier to orchestrate the initial delivery of this publication by distributing it as a digital zine, and then upgrading it to a physical zine in the future. it pains me to not provide important business to the post office (the boys in blue have provided so much for us), but knowing that it will help avoid any hiccups on initial launch settles my qualms about it. for a novice of the print-media industry like myself, having the freedom to experiment within the medium and get a feel for the amount of time and effort it takes to put together an issue is a huge benefit.
so, without further ado, it is our pleasure to announce frank's new blog's digital zine: volume 1. it brings us joy to report that the first two issues are already in development and will be released on june 5th, 2018 and decemeber 5th, 2018--our sixth month anniversary and one year anniversary, respectively, so mark your calendars!
I know a ".pdf" file doesn't provide the same joy to it's users as flipping through a set of physical pages, but without a deep understanding of the logistics behind an undertaking of this magnitude (to a global readership, might I add), we at frank's new blog think it's important to start small and build up, just like how we initially started this blog--with a single post! and look how far we've come... remember, small business is big business.
excited about where this new development will lead us
-frank
