My Bachelor Project,
have you looked inside yet?
have you looked inside yet?
A magazine that I made the concept for and designed; a 140-page editorial project. All the images in and on the magazine are of my own making, using a combination of Photoshop and textures I created and scanned.
The concept of the magazine is to tackle and create an open space for conversation around the loneliness epidemic sweeping the western world. People have less friends, social contacts, and describe themselves as lonely than ever before. Contrary to popular belief, the people who are most greatly affected by this are people from ages 17-29.
Therefore, I have texts from young adults from across the world, from Egypt to Japan, from Mongolia to the USA, describing their experiences with loneliness. The idea is to forge community within the experience of loneliness.
Alongside the personal poetry are articles, an interview with philosopher Byung Chul Han and a short story. These tackle knowledge around loneliness and address the topic on a scale beyond the individual.
