OUGD502 - NEST Magazine Launch

Attending the latest NEST magazine launch at Village Bookstore exposed me to socialise with other creatives, pick up a copy and enjoy a beer. I managed to speak to Josiah, the producer of NEST magazine, where he provided details into the production and composition of the publication.

• Due to the limited amount of submissions, Josiah apopted a minimal layout with a lot of white space.
• Contact with printers - Josiah uses Pressision Print which is an external printing company that I am familiar with after my visit in first year. He explained that emails, phone calls and visiting the printers was the best way to communicate and achieve the desired results. 
• I questioned how the ambiguous cover was produced - Simply photographing folded paper with studio lighting and then layering them on Photoshop.
• Logo - Mocked up the disjointed logo in 5 minutes but it is still used now. Shows how creative instinct and expression can still create a successful and timeless outcome.

Overall this experience has given me confidence to approach creatives because they enjoy talking about there work. Josiah was a really friendly and bursting with creative and professional experience.
