Razorcake Ad
Razorcake Magazine mostly covers the punk rock music scene. I am not very punk rock, but I've learned to apricate the DIY spirt, oddly inclusive voice, anti-precious aesthetics and can-do attitude of the punk movement. And because of that, I really enjoyed every issue of Razorcake I would pick up at Skylight Books in Los Feliz.
Recently, Billy McCall of Beind The Zines asked if I would illustrate an article written by Todd Taylor, co-publisher of Razorcake. I was happy to do it. Working on that drawing got me nostalgic for Razorcake. So, I did what every zinester should do and got my self a subscription. (this is, if you can reasonably afford one)
After some more reflection, I have decided to support the magazine further by placing an advertisement for my zine in their pages when I have some extra funds. If you are viewing this page, it is because I’d like your help/critique/feedback of those ads.
Razorcake is printed on newsprint and uses a pretty course half-tone screen. This sixth page ad is only
2½ inches wide by 4 tall. I wonder if it will read correctly?
For me, the first three are a shoo-in,
but I'm looking for opinions. Which ones do you like? Which ones do you not? Do you even like the vibe?
