Pink Mill // Issue One - The Student Socialite

  • Ellie Rose

The first issue created under the Pink Mill, is a culture based publication based on a student's guide to London and all it's hidden aesthetic gems. The issue acts as a guide, it is broken up by relevant boroughs and areas in and around central London and details how expensive things are for students and the best places to get the perfect instagram image - something a lot of people are very interested in. We visited a number of different places and we personally got to experience London in a completely different settings than what we normally see. We got to go to a number of different pop-up shops, cafes and visit fashion stores; all of which are available to everyone. A number of the places we found were from online outlets and other people's instagram posts. This led us to wanting to further look into these places and visit them ourselves. Through gaining a following on Instagram we were able to connect with other artists and people that shared a common interest in what we were exploring. This then led us to collaborating with them in order to generate some artwork that we could include within our magazine and also use to help promote their work to our audiences. We created our own little community that shared similar viewings. // Here is a link to the online version of Issue One - https://issuu.com/pinkmill/docs/student_socialite_final
