FAD is dedicated to making media as smart as you are.

This means: less than you might find in other magazines. Fewer assumptions that one might require updates, analysis or critique of mainstream celebrities, TV (that's television) characters, and other examples of media tail-chasing.

FAD at 80 pages, 11X14" showcases the visionary, the baroque, the historical and the fascinating, before they are compressed through mainstream channels (if they ever will be). FAD wants to give the reader a full view of Ideas, Facts, Fashion, Forward-Thinkers, the Bizarre, the Ugly, the Beautiful, the Provocative and the Unexpected.
