Isabel, one of our interns last year, is starting up an independently published, non-profit publication named “Selfmade Magazine”. She is looking for contributions, so hope some of you out there want to participate. We’ve included a full description from Isabel about the project.

“The first issue of “Selfmade Magazine” is standing in the starting blocks. In order to make it as many-sided and comprehensive as possible, I need your help! Participate with your photos, illustrations and texts!

The theme of this edition is “Man as ruler”. It is about the examination of the human species and an analysis of its actions. These may be topics such as environment, politics, war, but also abstract and banal everyday-life-situations. Let your imagination run free and be critical!

The format of the magazine is A4, holds about 60 pages and is printed in b/w. The cover will most likely be produced by screen-printing. In order to sell small editions, the issue will be send to book- and magazine-stores, like “Motto” or “pro qm” in Berlin, later on.

As you can see, the subject is quite open. Please send your ideas, concepts and submissions until March 20th, 2010 to hello@hirnkraut.com. It doesn’t matter if your submission has already been published as long as it fits in. Visuals naturally have to work in black and white.

If you have any questions and/or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to your contributions!

Best regards, Isabel.”
