VMAN #18 preview

   Shrek of a Guy, the latest VMAN editorial to  hit newsstands April 20th, have the cartoons star alongside the models. Its kinda weird, it takes my focus away from the models and the clothes, but nonetheless its still pretty cool.

magazine culture.

    So, for the 2nd project in my Foundation II class, we have to do a 16 page spread on a specific type of culture. It can be anything, and has to be illustrated in words and images. So, I was thinking of doing my book on fashion magazines, and its history and culture. I'm going to research on the history of fashion magazines, and include that in my book. For images, I was thinking of doing very romantic still-life's of various fashion magazines layed out on my desk in different positions with natural lighting. Anyone have any ideas as to which magazines I should feature? Drop me a email! metallicmarker11@gmail.com

VMAN #17 "The How-To" Issue

           Now Glamour Magazine is usually known for their "How-to's" since the 1900's but VMan is putting their own spin on it with its "HOW TO DRESS LIKE A POPSTAR" editorial. Featuring Adam Lambert, Cobra Starship, My Chemical Romance, and Justin Bieber ( with Rihannas lipstick on his cheek), these 4 pop sensations are expected to lead the way in 2010. I like the editorial, each artist has their own theme as shot by Mark Abrahams. Also, the opening page ( minus the 8 on the bottom left corner) serves as cool type.
