JPG 7 on Newsstands Now

I just got my copy in the mail last week, and two thoughts stand out:

  1. It’s amazing to me that what started just two years ago as a cool little side project for Derek Powazek and Heather Champ is now a totally real magazine. “Real” is not quite the right word, because the first six issues of JPG are real, but you know what I mean. The thing is on newsstands now, nationwide.

  2. JPG is really well-designed. There aren’t design credits in the masthead, but I assume that’s just because Powazek designed it and didn’t want to add another slash after “editor/publisher”. But it’s gorgeous.
