A raw projecton Kickstarteraims to create the most beautiful science fiction magazine ever . see the team behind TYCHO , we remember they can pull it off .
TYCHO will be “ a visually compelling love letter to science fable ” in a ricochet journal of “ wonderful , great paper stock ” that can live everlastingly on your coffeetable or bookshelf . The creators visualize a publication that features short fiction , essays , profile , interviews , comic , picture taking , and more — all laid out with conscientious attention to design item .
TYCHO plans to publish original writing but also puzzle out as a pure art magazine , and 32 % of its budget is set aside to pay contributors . So how will the squad mother an “ un - disposable , indispensable , contemporary science fiction artifact ” alternatively of a throwaway periodical ? It ’s a tall order , but the people behind TYCHO have the chops :
