- FrivolousFrivolous is a magazine about clothes, designers and societal responses. But it isn’t a fashion magazine. It isn’t a magazine filled with glossy spreads, rules of beauty and unattainable aspirations. The turning of each page doesn’t have the insistent whispers of “I’m pretty, you’re not so you need to buy this in order to be accepted”. It isn’t a magazine that focuses purely on the visual and commercial aspects of the industry, nor does it accept the merger perception that outsiders have. The us
- Things & InkAs a part of my Publishing Media course, I participated in an Independent Study instead of a module. For this study, I explored Things & Ink magazine which was currently print only but the current editor was folding the print magazine and transferring the brand into an events direction for the tattooing community. I therefore, took the concept and evolved the magazine to a digital platform with huge focus on a new, contemporary and creative visual design. The mock ups below are for an iPad format and feature a few different sectors of what the first digital issue would contain. I have created the brand new Things & Ink Digital with a refreshed format and aesthetic design which can be replicated across its website and any future projects. It enhances the magazines artistic tone and also adds a sophisticated inclination which enhances the magazines aim of elevating the current stigma on the tattoo industry. The digital launch introduces a minimalistic, modern design that opens up the page layouts and no longer over-throws the focus on the beautiful tattooed artwork photography that is pictured throughout. The refreshed digital magazine has a flexibility and boldness in design that can accommodate both serious issues and celebration of the community without having to drastically alter any design templates for certain topics. Throughout the entire magazine, layouts are kept consistent divided up by title pages of the sectional topics. Text was previously flushed left, now it sits fully justified to create a clean style in which all photography is kept in line with also. Less text appears on each page and is separated by intertwined imagery to allow layouts to breathe. The magazine strives to ‘create stunning photoshoots’ and therefore, allowing ample room to display these shoots aesthetically is imperative.
- Head of HeraHead of Zeus proposes the creation of a new children’s imprint named Head of Hera initially specialising in children’s fiction aimed towards 5-8 year olds. Two series, Finish My Story and What Next? are proposed as the initial titles which Head of Hera will launch with. This will include two titles for each series, in addition to a special edition title for the Finish My Story series as well as digital editions of both titles in the What Next? series. This report includes financial, editorial, production, design and market research for this proposed list. The proposed list has an initial focus of attempting to create an engagement between the reader and the story. For each series, we have devised a different strategy for this. Series One: The Finish My Story Series Children take ownership of the narrative by fully-illustrating, finish-illustrating and colouring in the visual imagery of the narrative. Series Two – The What Next Series This series allows a reader to choose the narrative of the story. Every other page gives a few different story options where the reader chooses one of the allocated page numbers and story lines, and flicks to the page in the book allowing the reader to have different story lines each time they read it.
