Magazine Subscription
My major project in graphic design focused on inspiration. This was because I notice that throughout university the word ‘inspiration’ was used frequently by lectures but I just found myself scrolling through the internet in search for it, which I found just made me more uninspired than inspired. Through my research I gather information on different ways we can get inspired and interviewed post graduates students on their advice and tips on what they do to keep inspired. Looking at already existing work I found a niche for a magazine that would provide young creatives with a burst of quarterly inspiration, preventing them automatically going start to online sources. The magazine would be a subscription magazine where you sign up for the year and four times a year you would receive a idea juice magazine. ‘Idea Juice’ is the name of the magazine, I called it this as I felt it was a playful and fun use of words to describe the ideation process of coming up with ideas. I wanted the look and feel of the magazine to be just as inspirational as the content inside which is why I used multiple different papers and stocks to give the magazine a tactile feel when you are flicking through. As a subscription the magazine comes with goodies to help with ideation and ideas so provided is a pen and sketchbook to scribbles ideas or sketch them down. As a inspirational magazine future magazines would have the same style but papers, content and cover designs would change to provide different inspirational textures and visuals.
