It was nice to chat to a couple of people, Erin (Editor-in-Chief) in particular, because we discussed her ideas for the magazine and how she went about curating it all. We also talked about ideas for the next upcoming magazine and about potentially having a mini magazine released every couple of months in between the big nest launches just to keep the ball rolling and to cut up the big 6 month or so gap between each edition. Something I'm wanting to do is to submit and hopefully have my work put within the next edition, as a way of publicising my work which is something I definitely don't do enough of.
The main theme of this edition was Focus, and for me was the most interesting and eye catching one yet. Wrapped around the magazine was a translucent and embossed partial dust jacket that brought the whole aesthetic together, already bringing through the theme of focusing.
Within the magazine itself was a wide range of work, including a couple of bits of photography and textiles that I particularly liked.
One neat feature within the magazine was the text, using a very pale blue throughout meant that you had to really focus and concentrate to be able to read it.
Not to forget the 'Focus' text on the bottom right hand corner of every page, the further you flick through the pages the clearer the text becomes; a cool little feature.
