Group Four:
Before we started discussing ideas I wanted to have a quick look at some independent magazines to see what kind of topics have already been covered.
Magazine Research
International Designers Network prides itself on doing all the things that are normally considered too expensive or too difficult to do with ink on paper. It’s grown into one of the world’s most ambitious and highly regarded design magazines, and it really does have to be seen to be believed – pictures on a screen can’t do it justice!

For the morning part of the workshop we have been asked to consider the following:
We started off by brainstorming some ideas and decided to base the content around the idea of people with unusual jobs. The idea is to have each issue of the magazine based on a different area of work and interview people involved. So if it was on strippers for example, we would interview strippers, people who have used strippers, strip club owners......etc.
The name we have decided on for now is 'UNTOLD' as we felt this best represented the content and added an element of mystery.
The audience will be young people that are intrigued about other peoples lives.
The aesthetics will need to reflect the gritty nature of the content so it will use traditional methods such as raw film photography, relating colours such as red for stripper....
For the kick starter campaign we decided to use a documentary style video that would show short clips of interviews and on location scenes of each professions. We found an example of a vice video that was the kind of format we were proposing:
Front Cover
