Blanket Magazine
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008
Blanket is a free PDF online magazine that is aimed at uncovering (excuse the pun!) Art + Design + Photography from the talented people who create it.
Blanket is a fantastic magazine full of inspired creative works. The name blanket came from the simple idea of wanting to ‘cover’ all the areas of art, design and photography and bring them together in one magazine.
To quote the creators “At Blanket, we aim to inspire our readers through informative interviews, cheeky and humorous stories and, of course, beautiful art, design and photography. Most of all, we aim to have a magazine that is like your best friend: it tells you things, it makes you laugh, it inspires you, and it never takes itself too seriously.”
