A Profound Waste of Time@apwot.bsky.social · 5mo agoHere’s a little video of the lenticular test for the upcoming issue 6!
I love the design consideration made with A Profound Waste of Time in that every page ends in a full stop; there are no sentences that wrap over to the next page. I'd imagine it could be a logistical design nightmare at times! @apwot.bsky.social
I just finished reading the first issue of @apwot.bsky.social I've never seen a magazine of such high quality, both in terms of content and design. The articles are super interesting and the layout is Wow!
