E1 Mag

A print/online publication takes inspiration from current and past social issues surrounding the class system and the institutionalized classism that exists in today’s society. Heavily inspired by the industry’s systematic class issue and the authenticity of working-class culture, the magazine aims to bring a raw and real image of working-class life and opinions. Focusing on tactile elements, such as handwritten pages and candid images, brings together an authentic and low-fi mood throughout. Traditional workwear largely inspires the colour scheme, fluorescent oranges and greens pay homage to workman’s wear and fit with the bold voice apparent throughout the publication. Working closely with upcoming creatives, the publication acts as a collective of ideas to build a community of like-minded creatives to hone in it’s DIY image. Drawing from British realism and the early zines of Harmony Korine, the publication plays arounds with the idea of mess and imperfection giving it a low-fi yet polished feel.
