Have you ever designed a regular publication? I want to but you'll never be able to unless you're 30 years of experience.
How to start your own publication? And make enough to keep it going?
People, time, and grids.
Also, hand made blogs are basically the modern publication so you can just start there.
Let me add, my favorite periodicals are V Magazine. The Wall Street Journal. Carson era Ray Gun. the new york review of books.
