ILLUSTRATION | PUBLICATION | WRITING
A full-length magazine about punk rock, a collaborative work about the various aspects of the genre. We drew inspiration from the music magazine 'Rolling Stone', the counterculture magazine 'Adbusters' and from punk zines. Much of these layouts subvert the magazine format with obscured imagery, DIY aesthetics (sticky tape around images) and elements that ignore the conventions of the traditional magazine layout. Between the more conventional articles there are pages with illustrated fake advertisements, comic strips and non-sequitur collages. All in the spirit of Punk.
My contributions were diverse and included:
• Writing the copy for my respective pages, particularly 'Genealogy of Punk' (including a full visualisation) and the rambling mini-article, 'Is Punk Dead?'.
• Researching and charting the timeline/family tree for Genealogy of Punk.
• Prepared much of the imagery within these pages using Photoshop.
• Illustrated and wrote the comic: 'Punk Rocker Train Etiquette'.
• Designing the unique page layouts.
• Helping to conceptualise the magazine's overall aesthetic.
