Twofold Magazine Feature

I emailed Twofold magazine (an independent design magazine) after receiving an email regarding their submissions. Before starting university, I had a passion for photo manipulation and devised the following typography piece:

As Twofold required both Illustration and Typography submissions, I thought I could suggest this for the latter category whilst still showcasing the other work on my portfolio incase this interested them. I contacted them with a link to my portfolio and within a week or so, got a reply! Really chuffed.

Got another email a week ago asking for a delivery address for a free copy which will be released at the end of December so I will post as soon as it arrives. 

The Beautiful Meme Talk

The Beautiful Meme is a creative agency with a core focus on branding. Copy is seen as one of the most important aspects of design and the following are their reasons why. It made me realise that content is extremely important in putting across an idea - there is no use simply inputting placeholder text into a publication, for example, without knowing what the content may be. The content may affect your design decisions and vice versa.
