PRINT PACKAGE
The print package includes the 200 page magazine, a sheet of temporary tattoos, stickers to customize your magazine, and a TITLE logo sticker.
TEMPORARY TATTOOS
Each graphics lead was tasked with designing a tattoo to represent the project(s) they worked on. I then compiled and refined the tattoos into two sheets that came with each copy of issue 007.
God Bless (The Midwest)
Creative Direction & Photography: Lydia Masset Styling: Kat Newcombe Writing: Dillion McCormick & Vivien SmithLayout: Carson Mills & Erin Rankin Graphics: Lydia Masset & Carson Mills Model: Kenzie Eberhart
This project was inspired by the ways Christianity influences the culture of the midwest. I proposed this project, photographed it, and art directed this team of eight for the print edition of 007.
The Lord Looking Down in Pity
Creative Direction & Photography: Jacob Stevens Creative Direction & Styling: Nash Hill Layout & BTS Photos: Lydia MassetGraphics: Georgina Osae Models: Hannah Pruiett, Madelin Nicole
This project is about our generation’s relationship to religion. I had the opportunity to shoot behind the scenes photos for this project and design the layout.
INSTAGRAM TAKEOVERS Inspired by the ID badges Keith Harring and his friends handmade for their favorite bar, Emma Sulfsted (Creative Director) and I created these ID badges for our instagram takeovers. Each staff member was given a physical ID badge to fill out and photograph in a space that they felt represented them. This process tied into our issue 007 love of DIY culture.
LAUNCH PARTY
To celebrate the release of issue 007 we hosted a ticketed launch party at Alice (a local favorite) completed with stations to put on the temporary tattoos and a custom issue 007 mirror inspired by our instagram takeover format. Photos: Daniel Iroh
WORKSHOP
To help inspire the layout and graphics team Ellen Steveknot (Publishing Editor)and I put together a zine workshop that emphasized play and creating assets by hand.
