Meow logos

Here are some potential logos for the magazine. It is important the logo reflects the magazine identity, my favourite is the meow zine.

I found these images in none other than my favourite zine. Ilovefake. Meow likes!



This is my favourite *very clever* I love how two models are joint to shape the silhouette of a cat.




Oh the weird and wonderful.

Meeting Minutes 4

We met up today to start creating our consumer mood board. We took elements of graphics, photography and text to visually portray our concept. We plan to do a couple more over the week. For the rest of the day we plan to contact some more people we can feature in the zine. We also are looking into some exhibitions in London that we can go to and do a write up on. We want to inform people of new emerging talents and whats going on in the world of fashion and art in the moment.

Next Meeting TBA!

Love Sherbert



I really like the layout of sherbet magazine, it feels almost like a press pack and I also thought id put up one of the pages that demonstrated a cool form of images and text. i love how the text is fitted into these silhouettes .

Over and Over















Over and Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns collects groundbreaking work from fifty of today’s most talented designers who create patterns by hand and use them in their work in inventive and innovative ways.From Deanne Cheuk’s patterns that adorn current fashion to those of Robin Cameron that explore her interest in art to Garrett Morin’s patterns that arose from an exercise for a character called Eloie, the examples in this book push the boundaries of the traditional concept of what a pattern is.

New Talent




Jorge Chamorro of Spain Charms Grafik 185 magazine with his brilliant work. He obstructs already beautiful pictures by shading out faces or crossing them out with different techniques, leaving the identity of the people unknown.

Hotel visual







These were found in zine: Hotel visual
very sexual expressing lots of nudity within this magazine, however these 4 photographs really captured my eye, the use of repetition in different angles, overlapping and letters of type coming through. It has given me some ideas for potential photo shoots.

Aaron Vohra = RAW talent

After deciding we want to show off new up and coming artistic talent within the magazine I have been looking at peoples work.
Illustrator Aaron Vohra is a 20 year old student currently at Huddersfield university. I used to go to school with him and have always considered his work one to watch. Judging my his new tumbler photos he certainly is.

I am going to try and contact Aaron to see if he can feature his work in our magazine, perhaps an interview could take place too. If readers like it as much as I do...it will be a SUCCESS.







RAW TALENT. WATCH THIS SPACE.

Chaos




I was looking at chaos magazine online...where i came across these beautiful photographs. The colours and blurred focus in areas makes the editorial dreamlike- hence the name dreamwaver

Will you catch my dreams in sensual arrays of pink and purple lights ?

Claire Heathcote

OK so i made it a priority to find more artists who resemble the editorials I found in I love Fake. I love the way stitching is used as a medium instead of drawing with a pen.

So i remember in my a-levels looking at Cockpit arts which was a place where studios can be hired for aspiring designers/ artists. I had a look at the website and found some interesting designers one of which mentioned a textile designer called Claire Heathcote.

Claire Heathcote is a graduate from Goldsmiths College where she studied Textile. Claire creates illustrations using thread instead of a drawn line, which is then filled with further embroidery and applique.

I love how the loose threads drape over the work adding another dimension. Her work consists of incomplete quality, due to the threads often left unfinished. This adds a rawness to the picture.

who knew?

These designs blew me away with the over excessive stitching!
Machine stitch has been used to enhance the shapes of the silhouettes. Ripped collage has been also been machine stitched on using various stitches. This expose a hidden identity, a false perception of what lies underneath.
I would purchase any magazine with these designs in!!!

My aim: To find other artists who work like this...there must be more?
This weekend = myself and my sowing machine ! F.A.C.T
