That feeling of being fully emerged in natural surroundings is something that no amount of money could ever buy.
I designed my project through my combined fields of interest within design, photography, graphics and typography along with my hobbies that I am involved with in my spare time such as running, bouldering, hiking and camping; therefore creating an "outdoor lifestyle and creative culture" magazine used to inspire people.
The idea to create a magazine was something I was very interested in, I love reading books in my spare time and to combine all my interests into one printable magazine would be a dream. The reason to make it a print rather than digital also was very important to me as I feel that we have become a society who are super connected with this fictitious world and completely disconnected from the ‘real’ world, over engrossed with our phones, laptops, TVs and tablets. By making this a printable form, it can be an item that you take with you on your next weekend break or hike; filled with examples that people can survive without always being connected, highlighting those individuals who have lived their whole lives from the land.
The data that I will gather will be used to form articles that help to explain the experiences of those who have grown up in the beautiful surroundings that is, Sperrin, piecing together both the stories and memories of recent times and times long ago. The purpose is to educate those within this area of the upbringing that came before them and for people who are interested in learning more than what the tourist signs tell them.
