It’s the year of the indie mag and The Other Side is leading the charge. Produced by a team of exceptional writers, illustrators and designers we have our finger firmly on the pulse of what London needs. It’s time for change and The Other Side is exactly that.
The Magazine
This is about a community of people who want the best offbeat insight into London and want to see that reflected in what they read. People accept nothing less. We’re special. We’re unique. Our mission is to bring the best to the people. Originally printed on a photocopier in Muswell Hill, The Other Side has blossomed from an eight page black and white magazine into a full colour magazine. Created, run and put together bi-monthly by a group of Londoners working within the publishing and Web 2.0 industry, The Other Side Magazine is ready to take on the big guns.
The Other Side is made up of young Londoners frustrated with what we are handed on a daily basis. The Lite, Metro and Paper are offering nothing of any value to commuters…and don’t get us started on the new ES. We turn the norm on its head and offer up witty, insightful comment on our city. Be it music, film, art, fashion, politics or food. If its on the mind of Londoners then we’ll cover it. We’ve got an award winning travel writer, a film star, RA graduates and the backing of social networking platform Webjam.com.
Online
We don’tt believe that print is dead. Not yet anyway. Who doesn’t love sitting down and reading a tasty magazine? However we are accounting for the direction in which print is going and have created a website to match those thoughts.
The site is run on a social network platform, taking your average website and adding endless possibility to it.
Our blogs, forums and bulletins are monitored through activity feeds throughout the site for easy navigation. We have an abundance of writers who contribute on a regular basis.
There is also a thriving community of members contributing to the content.
Channels
What sets us apart from other sites is the potential for readers to create their own ‘Other Side’ network. A place where they can start writing blogs, adding photos or just communicating with other readers. Anything written on their Other Side network appears on a feed on our homepage.
We are currently setting up pages for shops, bars and festivals that they can use to promote themselves. By keeping a blog and running a forum it can set a store apart from one with a standard website. It’s key to interact with their customers and we know that we can help.
