Beatrice Boyle creates these beautiful collages by taking portraits and painting over them. The result is a set of incredible mixed media works.
"Paywalls encourage a paper to focus on the value of their content. Thresholds encourage them to focus on the value of their users."
"The article threshold has often been discussed as if it was simply a new method of getting readers to pay, to which the reply has to be “Yes, except for most of them.” Calling article thresholds a “leaky” or “porous” paywall understates the enormity of the change; the metaphor of a leak suggests a mostly intact container that lets out a minority of its contents, but a paper that shares even two pages a month frees a majority of users from any fee at all. By the time the threshold is at 20 pages (a number fast becoming customary) a paper has given up on even trying to charge between 85% and 95% of its readers, and it will only convince a minority of that minority to pay."
