No sooner do I blog about zombie magazines being revived through their archives than Life gets together with MagCloud to reproduce their original Woodstock issue (though it seems from the preview that the ads have been removed).
The pair are also apparently teaming up to allow users to compile their own magazine using images from the Life back catalogue – the one major restriction seeming to be that they all have to come from the same date. You’ll be allowed to add in images of your own too, for the perfect ‘Dad’s Christmas present’ win.
I do wish they’d be a little more adventurous with it all. I’d love to have the chance to put together my own re-editing of Life’s archive, Lilliput style.
