If you had a fashion magazine of your own ...

[ParadEyes]

you guys are all talented !!

I'll make one in this days. It's amazing thread.

it would have to play in on what people long for deeply desperately, i would play in on core feelings. Every single paragraph, page, number, letter image would be extremely desirable. I would create worlds environsments that are a highly desirable dreams which feel like it can all be yours, anything you ever really wanted in life is there for you. hahaha i wonder how that would look like

^Sounds great

I always settled for a publication continuing to make money, thereby keeping me in a job - but there’s an exquisite pleasure in mastering the many compromises that go into a creating a publication. The concept of compromise is seen as a dirty word, and something that gets in the way of creativity, but considering that a publication is supposed to be a product, there will always be lots of commercial concerns to take into account.

So in the end, the real art lies in your ability, as an editor, to integrate the compromises together to create a magazine that is both commercially successful and has integrity.

You might think that the best thing is to have free rein on filling it with whatever content you want - but it’s not. There’s a world of difference between imposing your fantasies on an audience, and crafting a publication that’s a communication between you and a readership, where you try to anticipate, cater, persuade, seduce and educate them about whatever sector you’re working in.

I would almost say, there's more creativity in having to inventively compromise than there is in trying to impose upon people. One is a social conversation and the other is the equivalent to talking to yourself.

i hope most of you go on to pursue a career in print and create your own magazines. I'd totally subscribe to ALL of them.

 

[CrisGalaxy]

Yeah too bad theres not going to be any more magazines in 10 years and all of them will be online magazines

 

[FashionTopFace]

i dont compromise. but yes it needs to communitate socially like a book or a poem or a movie otherwise it doesnt touch people.

I would look whats really going on in society right now and then create the most exciting sensational environments while communicating, i would let poeple communicate as if theyre all a part of this envoronment/magazine. for instance the core feelings of people never change look at what shakespeare writes about its still the same as songs today just fashion changes so for instance jealousy he writes about that with the depth of his feelings. i could like create a dream environment what is a more amazing reality than reality so i wouldnt set people in a castle right now cause who lives in a castlke now so you cant really imagine yourself there haviing something emotionally hot going on.

im thinkinh of who is dong this well, when i find examples ill post something that really plays in on my feelings and creates sensation throughout the world!

i think michael jackson martin scorsese and nobokov with his lolita stirred a lot of emotion in peple artistically and shook the word so id look for things like that as inspiration maybe

TWENTY EIGHT MAGAZINE

^VERY NICE! Love the new layout! I especially the font though I think you should have just had the "Eight" word in white. Just my opinion. But I love it! Thanks for sharing!

so i wouldnt set people in a castle right now cause who lives in a castlke now so you cant really imagine yourself there haviing something emotionally hot going on.

I was actually thinking about this very theme earlier today, because it's interesting to see - throughout the magazine world in general - that castles are an eternal theme in features, ranging from the content in children's publications right through to top-end interiors magazines. Just because a fantasy is ubiquitous doesn't mean it loses its appeal, and just because no-one lives in one doesn't stop nearly everyone having a fondness for them.

Although maybe it's a quirk of the UK newsstand that there are around 3-4 mainstream monthly magazines devoted to historical buildings and their associated styles. It makes me wonder if there could be a space for a quarterly or biannual publication focusing on castles alone, with excellent photography, a bit of history, product editorials, and advertising from the mid-to-high end of the interiors and construction services industry.

And the selling point of it being a print publication is that with good design, each issue becomes something to keep, because it ties in with people's fantasies of castles.

TWENTY EIGHT MAGAZINE

I love the TwentyEight font, any chance you could share its name please?

You're all very talented! i will post some of my work later

I would like to have photography/fashion magazine. For example, there would be no room for in studio jumping shots, etc. I would not use 'it' models. As soon as someone became overexposed, they'd be outta my magazine sooner than you could imagine. That would mean Natasha, Lara, Raquel, etc would be permanently banned. Same with photographers. I don't need to see Meisel, etc doing the same thing over and over again. I'd be always on the lookout for new photographers, but nothing pretentious, I'd still want beautiful images. And lastly, I'd be worse than Anna Wintor when it comes to my favorite models. Basically Snejana would have 16 eds in each issue and cover every other issue at least.

I love your magazine!

 

[purplethistle]

^me too. Where/when can I subscribe?!?

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

Here is my magazine, it would be a mix of fashion/photography/music/movies. Very Campy...without being a complete joke. There would be an UNSUNG issue each year dedicated to influential people that dont get recognized as much. There would be 4 issues a year. Plenty of Eds so def. worth the money!
