Unpolished

"SOME Magazine emerges from an urge to fight monotony with an experimental approach to the magazine industry thus they are constantly aiming for alternative options to delight their readers."

SOME is an independently-published international magazine based in Puerto Rico. The magazine is published quarterly in digital format. They are devoted to fashion, art and design. SOME is a reference guide for personal style and is expected to inspire rather than dictate.

The magazine is divided in three sections:

- SOME STUFF features a vast selection of editorial stories by a diversity of contributors.

- SOME PROJECTS reinvent the magazine one issue at a time.

- SOME ONE proposes an innovative way of interviewing.

Their objective is to end monotony by being spontaneous and unexpected. They want their readers to become self-conscious when establishing their personal styles and be inspired by everything that surrounds them. They encourage people to pursue individuality and uniqueness. They incite everybody to exploit imagination and to take risks when it comes to the creative process therefore they give their contributors the freedom an artist deserves.

Their manifesto is: "Fashion is the art form and Personal Style the medium."

The Australian male has come a long way in the last 20 years. Gone is the Neanderthal whose idea of skin care was slapping some zinc on his nose, or idea of fine dining was a meat pie - without the sauce - and a beer poured into a glass, not slurped from the can. The modern Australian man now knows the importance of looking and feeling good. He knows if he gets those two things right, other paths open. But he's also a man in a hurry. He needs help in obtaining the one luxury money can't always buy - time. Now quarterly, men's style Australia incorporates the very best in fashion, grooming, design, food and drink. Not that it's all about clothes. Mindful that image can not be just skin-deep, men's style Australia also reviews technology, gadgets and cars and what a man loves most: music, movies, books, health, humour, sport and sex. men's style Australia is for the man with a finger on the pulse and an eye on the future.

Dazed & Confused is a British style magazine,that was set up in 1992 and published monthly. Its founding editors were Jefferson Hack and Rankin. Topics covered include music, fashion, film, art and literature.

With the demise of both The Face and Sleazenation, it now exists alongside old rival i-D.

Beginning as black & white folded poster published sporadically the magazine soon turned full colour, promoted with London club nights. The combination of Jefferson Hack's eye for emerging scenes and talent, Rankin's growing reputation for celebrity portraiture, inventive graphic design and an inspirational fashion team brought a reputation that belied the magazine's small distribution.

This reputation attracted cover stars such as Richard E. Grant (issue #11), Jarvis Cocker (issue #15) long-time collaborator Björk (#16) and in a coup for the magazine, Radiohead's Thom Yorke interviewing himself in issue #19.

Throughout the 90s the magazine's influence grew as its format evolved and the reputations of those it had championed early in their careers blossomed. Among its many international magazine cover firsts Dazed counts Alicia Keys , Jake Gyllenhaal , Hilary Swank , Eminem and Pharrell, all of whom have gone on to huge international success.

The magazine has also supported social causes and encouraged debate with issues such as its 1998 Fashion-Able issue (#46) and 2004's South Africa issue (#115), the former dealing with perceptions of beauty and disability and the latter with the state of the country ten years after apartheid and the AIDS crisis throughout Africa. In 2006 Dazed & Confused joined forces with MySpace to support RED and World AIDS Day by encouraging the public to submit artwork and pledge their support to join the (RED) initiative.

Looking to move beyond the printed page in 1999 Dazed Film & TV was founded, a production company that would produce the first mast-head television broadcast ever, the one hour special Renegade TV Gets Dazed, for Channel 4. In 2001 the Dazed Group, as it styled itself, launched the luxury bi-annual Another Magazine. In 2005 the Group launched Another Man, a bi-annual fashion title for men.

In November 2006 Dazed launched a new web based strand of the magazine titled DazedDigital.com, which delivers fashion, film, music and art news and special online events.
