    BBC Worldwide Best Magazine BrandBBC Worldwide
    A group project that started life at Goldsmiths College, GIRL FIEND magazine celebrates women in music and aims to inspire the next generation of artists. It won BBC Worldwide Best Magazine Brand 2017. The judge's comments: 'A spirited, ballsy and bold magazine. The use of photography is distinctive and slick, the design displays a remarkable level of sophistication and nuance, and the use of fonts demonstrates a clear understanding of hierarchy and navigation. The tone is bang on - sharp, funny and provocative.'
