I came to know Need Magazine after receiving a subscription from Antonio as a gift (thanks again AG). I've received 3 issues so far and I'll say, it's the most inspiring and truly altruistic view of the world of social good in a magazine I've seen. They document projects and groups all over the world with vivid imagery and telling stories.
Get a subscription, they're only $27 and it's pretty impossible to find it on the shelves of you local bookstore anyway. If you can't afford it, at least check out their blog or get a digital version of their first issue for free.
Need was designed by a firm up in Minneapolis, Fusion Hill. They have done a great job in keeping it simple and letting the words and picutures tell the stories.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

The French street-installation artist JR installed a new piece in Kibera, Kenya - within the largest slums in all of Africa.
After more than a year of planning, over 20,000 square feet of rooftops have been covered with photos of the eyes and faces of the women of Kibera. The material itself used for the project is water resistant to help protect the homes during rainy season. It truly is a beautiful concept, and a wonderful social statement.
For a full view of the project click here.

If you are in the area, you can drop off at our studio — otherwise, please send them yourself. We are closed on Monday for MLK, but anytime on Tuesday would be great. If you think you won’t be able to get them here on Tuesday, then please send them to the Miami address. Thanks so much!
