Bencher Magazine

A proposal for an independent, occasional magazine, about an aspect of visual culture. Bencher is a subscription based, quarterly magazine that looks to shed light on new styles, techniques, and artists of the street art scene. Bencher not only exhibits up-and-coming artists but it also looks at well established artists and how they’ve achieved great success. Bencher aims to be a magazine that successfully demonstrates the beauty and excitement of street art through the use of image manipulation, strong typography, and a flexible grid that allows every page and article to be different and exciting. A bencher is an individual who does not necessarily practice graffiti but is an enthusiast of the graffiti culture. Their greatest contributions to the culture are taking photos and sustaining the graffiti scene. This magazine is aimed at benchers and practicing street artists and it has been designed with them in mind.
