Agency.com’s Urban Desires, one of the first online ‘zines, will relaunch next month, changing its focus from magazine-style editorial to an exploration of visual art.
“I was really bored” with the old structure said Editor in Chief Gabrielle Shannon, who founded UD in 1994 with Kyle Shannon and Chan Suh, principals of Agency.com. “We started with the format because it was really what we knew and what everyone else knew.”
According to Shannon, Urban Desires receives 500,000 homepage impressions per month, which would make it one of the largest ‘zines on the Web.
