Art Design Publicity, a blog-mag-journal-art project

Cross-disciplinary ADP features art, design, music, PR/journalism, legal and real-talk professional practice—and mashes it together. Cross-genre, ADP works in between TMZ & Twitter freak outs; a bloggy media watch, newspaper & academic journal; a rock n’ roll music mag & a boring art/design propaganda mag. We are obsessed with art/design media/communications processes & propaganda flows via newswires. Several influential contributors talk from behind the safety of Venetian masks to speak more truthfully. Check out our unique group of editorial advisors.
