What is illiterate?!
through the prisM of our coMMunity MeMber’s individualinterpretations, illiterate unravels, reveals, prods and tickles the ever changing context that shapes our reality. These interpretations come in the form of reader generated art, photography, poetry, fiction, articles and comics submitted toilliteratemagazine.com. Using an evolutionary editorial model, at illiterate we invite our young, fiercely hip audience to do what they do best— judge the shit out of each other. Voting on each other’s reader generated submissions, readers actively participate in the editorial process. Though our staff enjoys blurring distinctions between us and them, consumer and contributor, we aren’t complete egalitarian hippies either. Our editors are the last line of defense against mob rule. In order to ensure quality content as well as their permanent air of superiority, illiterate editors use reader voting to influence their final selections for publication in the printed magazine.
ParTIcIPaTIOn Is The new ParadIgm
illiterate enables advertisers to participate in a new paradigm of advertising – hybrid media. This logical evolution of media integration, dissemination and execution allows advertisers to reach a highly involved audience/user group through multiple symbiotic outlets; Print magazine, Online e-community, Interactive events.
Our hybrid media approach allows advertisers to reach our readers through multiple channels with various levels of involvement and support through the following advertising opportunities:

illiterateMagaZine.coMOUr readers are OUr edITOrs
like all healthy relationships, the one betWeen illiterate readers and users is both incestuous and codependent, blurring the distinc-tion between online and print audiences. with the ability to upload, rate and share content, illiteratemagazine.com users directly affect the landscape of the website as well as the content of illiterate magazine. Though users are free to submit at will, in order to harness their creative lightning for print, the website offers theme-based projects and prompts to focus the chaos. In addition to content generation, the website serves as a community hub for social interaction, allowing users to create personal profiles, make friends and message one another. a regularly updated news and events blog keeps users informed about both local com-munity events and illiterate sponsored happenings.
large-scale illiterate t gatherings invite our readers to participate in live art, graffiti, music, fashion shows, dancing, poetry slams, video projections, performance art and more. each event is an oppor-tunity for illiterate artists to perform and promote their individual projects, as well as network with others to inspire new collaborations. along with these bigger events, illiterate also hosts regular intimate gatherings in the form of localized poetry readings, and art openings.
