For my final project at St. Norbert College, I created an art and design magazine visually inspired by the Swiss design movement, David Carson, classic rave flyers and artwork done for musicians I am inspired by. My primary goal was to utilize the best parts of analog and digital media in order to reiterate my own work as well as remix and recontextualize the work of others until they become something else entirely.
While I did use digital software to create the magazine, analog tools such as 35mm film, instant film and photocopies are utilized, making the work feel more textured in order to add visual interest and a nostalgic feel. The work includes distressed illustrations, still life and portrait photography, vector images of technology, digital archive screenshots and heavily manipulated typography.
Although the first part of the magazine is heavily visual and artistic, I also thought (this being a magazine) that articles were essential. Interviews with artists whose work I deeply admire and articles relating to my core themes are included.
