48 Hour Magazine: The clock starts Friday, May 7

‘As the name suggests, we’re going to write, photograph, illustrate, design, edit, and ship a magazine in two days.’

the process
48 Hour Magazine Issue Zero begins May 7, 2010. The editors will unveil a theme and contributors (which can be you!) will then have 24 hours to produce and submit work. The editors will then get it all together in the next 24. The final product will be a website and magazine – completed within 48 hours.

And they promise, ‘It will be insane. Better yet, it might even work.’

More details here. Twitter here.

48 Hour Magazine is the brain child of Heather Powazek Champ, Dylan Fareed, Mathew Honan, Alexis Madrigal, Derek Powazek and Sarah Rich.
