I have been intensively working on my dissertation for the last 2 months so this is first entry in a while, for which I apologise. I have been working on a few projects this last week though nothing is anywhere near completion. However, I think it is time to share with you what I’ve been working on.
Last month I was approached by some MMU business students to design a magazine for their Young Enterprise module. It’s called ‘platform’ and it is a free publication that showcases the work of talented Manchester based artists, designers and photographers. I have been given a fair amount of creative freedom – only A4 landscape format, spiral binding and ’sophisticated’ were mentioned. Each Young Enterprise team is given a colour – in this case it is crimson and the group were keen to reference this somehow in the magazine. I experimented with red tints, stickers and gradients, trying to think of something that could be done to each cover image that puts the magazines’ stamp on the work.
The images on 1 and 5 are by Joshua Kimnell. Number 2 is of Sasha Pivovarova, shot by Miles Aldridge for Numero. Unfortunately I have no recollection of where I got the picture in 3 and 4 from.
With every change I saved a new version.. the following 5 images are the best examples of the directions I went in. They’re in chronological order which explains why information is missing from some.
