Look Who’s Printed
It’s landed! Last week, Charlotte Rubesa’s Quiet Media officially launched and it is an absolute beaut!
The Zine is founded on the simple belief that our attention is our most valuable resource, and it should be treated with care. I am super duper psyched, hyped and proud to share that I contributed a small piece to Quiet Media. Titled Say Less, it's about the value of depth over drama when many brands are still hyper fixated on takeovers, volume and social feed dominance.
“What do we sacrifice when we opt for increasing noise at speed? We’re the emotionally immature friend equivalent: all drama, no depth. To say less is to take a different approach entirely. Saying less is about really slowing down to hear what's actually needed - and valued - in the long-term, not what might stop a scroll for the next few milliseconds, only to be forgotten forever.”
Printed in London with covers embossed in Portland, and featuring a solid line-up of top tier thinkers including Andrew McLuhan, Matilda Lucy and Melissa Eshaghbeigi (to name only a few of fifteen) I just love all the attention to detail that Charlotte Rubesahas put into this inaugural edition.
This is the good side of the internet: used with care and consideration, to connect and collab with others. Literally just do things!
Until Next Time…

Get lost. We all experience cities the same way via google maps but what about via Moogle Gaps?
What do we do about great art by bad people? For anyone yet to read Monsters by Clare Dederer, this is worth a read and this one too.
