This is a magazine for artists and the artistically inclined.
This is a magazine for artists and the artistically inclined.
Each spread is a quirky work of art in of itself, each article is designed to educate and inspire fresh talent and eager minds. This is a magazine that I personally (as a growing artist and art student) would want to read. Something stimulating for the creative brain to feed on and grow it's own ideas. This mag features emerging talent, secrets of the trade, tips n' tricks and featured work from artists all over the globe. The eclectic style of this magazine will set it apart from all the other regular mags that sit on that table in the waiting room. I want this magazine to be unique and wild, something that will catch your eye and make you itch to get back into your own creative space at home, maybe the one that no one knows about or those creative projects that your friends keep encouraging you to finish... I want this magazine to tip it's readers over the edge and into creative madness and beyond.

I took a lot of inspiration and designs for my spreads from artworks that I have previously created over the years. The picture on the left is my gallery wall in my home, featuring some of my favourite pieces. Maybe you can spot a few throughout the magazine?

Since my magazine topic is aimed at arts and creatives, I used a lot of my own personal artwork, and took inspiration from art and design around me. I incorporated drawings and paintings that I've made over the years, and I love the unique values and quirky attitude that they incorporate into my magazine.

I knew nothing about the creation and production of a magazine before I started, so there has been a lot of learning on the fly, teaching myself and observing other artists designs and magazine layouts.

I collaborated with a film and an animation student to create this powerful remix of the classic Avengers poster by Marvel.

Here, however, instead of the heroes we altered the designs and elements so the characters appear evil, corrupt and sinister.
