FOUND Magazine

FOUND Magazine is a collection of random notes, doodles and messages that provide "a glimpse into someone else's life." The site reminded me a little of Reddit, where people can go and post random things for other people to look at. I like how FOUND has created something out of the random "finds." The site has created magazines out of the "finds" that visitors can purchase and subscribe to. I think this creation is one of thousands of creative galleries that have come into existence because of multimedia. The multimedia landscape has provided room for people to create various projects out of random things. Even though some people may not find value in random works of different notes and drawings, I think that something interesting and worth following has been started by projects like FOUND. I think that FOUND seemed sort of similar to an online scrapbook. It would be interesting if the different magazine issues or site postings focused on specific days and compared what different people were doing and thinking. Not only has multimedia provided a space for new projects to be created, but it has also given some sort of value to things that most people would consider pointless or even weird. Why would people bother looking for and posting scrap notes and drawings discarded by others? They have an audience. Why do people want to read random notes written for other people? It sparks imagination and can provide a brief moment of distraction from their own lives.
