I don't know if there are any aspiring visual artists/industrial 
designers here, but if there are, they might design pilot covers and 
layouts for a Z-Magazine make-over and pitch them to Lydia Sargent @ 
<lydia.sargent at zmag.org>.

Speaking of make-overs, the Solidarity website 
<http://solidarity-us.org/> and _Against the Current_ 
<http://solidarity.igc.org/indexATC.html> can also use, say, a touch 
of fabulousness.  I'd welcome proposals.  My own preference is 
socialist modernism a la Vertov, Eisenstein, Rodchenko, etc.
