Emerging Culture's Grand Day Out!

Emerging Culture went on an office trip yesterday!

We went to see /thoughts magazine printed.
We walked into their factory and the first thing we saw was a huge (genuinely enormous) printing machine, printing 10,000 sheets of /thoughts per hour!

We had a tour round their factory and saw the whole process, from when we send them /thoughts as a pdf, to stapling them and putting them in boxes.

You know when you were little and everything was exciting...it was just like that! I could have been auditioning for the kids part in a Disneyland advert.
"Oooo", "Amazing", "Wow" and so on.

Check out half of the next /thoughts magazine, they print onto massive sheets like these:





The picture below shows a quarter of the printing for /thoughts, the stack of paper was genuinely about 4 foot tall!



So all in all, a grand day out!

If you want to make sure you get a copy of the next /thoughts, go to www.emergingculture.co.uk/thoughts
and order them straight to your door.
