Praise for MAKE X
“MAKE has always been a place to dig up gems, but the image of diamonds pressed between pages doesn’t really express how alive the pages are.”
“MAKE made something and made it big. There is a celebration in these pages. The MAKE editors know how to throw a party on paper.”
“Everyone on every coast and in between reads MAKE because it’s smart and cool and thoughtful and stylish and kind.”
