Magazine perfectly merged two of my favourites together - fashion and graphic design. I am insanely obsessed with fashion magazines since I was working as an intern in City Magazine, Hong Kong in 2005. Since then, I have never stopped my passion for magazines.
The visual, the paper, the page, the relationship between the text and the visual, the tactile feeling, the pagination, the typographic treatment, the space, the void, the positive and negative space and most importantly - the experience when you read the magazines. Many magazines tend to expand its influence through digital strategies; however, I am old fashion person that keens on buying magazines from bookstores. It explained why every time when I saw the latest issue of free(magazine) – COS in store, it is like you find a treasure for free. The wizard behind Fantastic Man, Gentlewoman & Butt - Jop van Bennekom always transformed these magazines into a charismatic person with an inexplicable allure.
When reading and buying magazines become an unstoppable habit. I guess I am suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Magazine. I wish I know how to quit it, but I guess there is no way out.
