New magazine treats mental health as a societal issue
This spring a small team in the UK launched a new magazine called Anxiety Empire. "We are using design for social change," says the founder. "It's free to the public because we believe mental health resources should be accessible for all regardless of income."
In addition to its fresh editorial angle, and its free, and ad-free business model (it's funded by an ongoing Kickstarter campaign), the magazine is set apart by beautiful design and impeccable production standards.
"Our feeling is that, when it comes to mental health, there often isn't enough care – for ourselves or each other," says the team. "Readers can sense the care and love that has gone into it – in the content, the design, the paper, the printing. It feels important to make something where people can sense care has been taken, as it supports the message that mental health is important."
