DE FACTO – Behind-the-Scenes

Below is the Behind-the Scenes mini-magazine. This will be inside each magazine of the June issue, giving a behind-the-scenes insight into the magazine, such as the photo shoots. I think this is an important thing to explore as it is engaging the reader – you don’t normally see the making of the magazine. DE FACTO…

Magazine Cover

The aim of the magazine cover is to entice people to pick up the magazine and look inside. As a new brand, the magazine isn’t as established yet, and so it is even more important to have an engaging cover. I had to be careful, as whilst my magazine promotes diversity, the choice of cover…

Creole Climate

This shoot is part of the Culture Club editorial of DE FACTO magazine, and this month we investigated Creole culture. Having researched their traditional dress and native designers for the previous FMP research model, I decided to use it as a basis in my styling choices, such as narrative clothing, bright colours and flowing garments….

Tropical Tangle

This shoot is based on the Spring/Summer 18 WGSN trend Psychotropical, which drops during the mid-summer season and so is perfect for the June issue.

The styling was based on the sub-trends, and also matched to each model as to what would suit their look and skin-tone. I chose to use an Asian model to represent…

Magazine Name – Final

I finally chose the name DE FACTO – this means ‘in fact’, which I thought was fitting as it is almost like saying this is, in fact, what real people look like. I experimented a variety of fonts to see which would fit the aesthetic I’m aiming for. I am aiming for the magazine to…

Magazine Branding

When considering the branding of the magazine, I wanted a clear colour palette and font family. For the colours I chose pink, orange and turquoise, as well as black and white. I feel that whilst these colours contrast, the also compliment each other and are strong. For the fonts, after experimenting with different typefaces (see…

Magazine Name – Initial Ideas

I wanted a magazine name that represented inclusiveness and covered everyone. Below are the shortlist of names, and experiments of different fonts in both lower case and caps. I particularly like the middle bottom and top right font, and the names BLANKET and DE FACTO stand out to me most.

The birth of DE FACTO magazine

My original statement of intent detailed how I was going to create a magazine based on different cultures from around the world, with each issue focusing on a different one, and so to educate the public on diverse cultures. After tutorials, I developed the idea further to expand on the idea of diversity in general…
