editorial/layout inspiration

ladybeard-the-sex-issue

One of my main inspirations when thinking about layout and design in relation to our concept was Ladybeard magazine, an independent artsy publication, with each issue having a clear, unique theme. Their first issue was titled The Sex Issue, and featured interesting, quirky photography, graphic design and illustrations. This publication, as ours aims to, discusses and depicts taboo or secretive subjects e.g. masturbation, in an artistic way with a clear contemporary aesthetic.

SS18 campaign manifesto and lookbook

>>FINAL LOOKBOOK PDF<<

Shrimps, created by Hannah Weiland, prides itself on bringing timeless yet playful garments and accessories to women.

In this image I erased sections of the yellow brush stroke and saved the image at each stage before combining the frames into a .gif to show the scribble being ‘painted’ on the screen.

I then experimented with this collage I made near the beginning of the module. I scanned the collage in and then used the clone tool and spot healing brush to fill in the curtain and flooring to make the ballet dancer disappear but still leave the photograph looking whole. This created a really eerie effect which I thought fit in with the Twitter text of ‘What’s happening?’.
