Brief: 

Assemble a single print publication that communicates a unique point of view on your researched subject, and synthesizes your content into a cohesive design system.

Solution:

My publication “Music & Fashion,” examines the triangular relationship between the music industry, the fashion industry, as well as visual branding. The commonality joining all three segments together is style.This relationship takes various forms, firstly, the musician propels their identity through fashion; separating them from conventional society. Secondly, the concept of tastemaking, a critical element in the relationship between the two industries. The different configurations of tastemaking take shape in fans’ desire to dress like their favorite musician, musicians designing their own clothing line, as well as fans’ representing their music taste through their visual appearance.
