Events on how design plays into our lives
The first edition of Oddly Enough looked at a topic that’s incredibly close to our hearts and tangential to the universe of everyday design: independent magazines.
For a number of years now, we’d been working closely with independent publishers and sharing some of the world’s best independent magazines with Indian readers. As supporters of indie magazines, we’re conscious of the delightful space these publications inhabit in the world at large. In India, the independent magazine space is still young, but there’s been a growing appreciation of quality content and a rising interest in publishing independently. In light of these happenings, we thought it’s time to turn our eye on magazine-making. Our panel comprised experts in the field. The panellists have worked behind the scenes of some really good publications, online and in print.
