CASE STUDY - SLIDE SEVEN

“Searching on the editor, Daniel Milroy Maher. I found a short but sweet podcast on the Stack Magazines webpage. In listening he talks more in depth on meanings involved in the issue. 

Daniel began by explaining how his magazine was started up by 2/3 people, their award winning team still now only consists of 5 people. These being one editor, 2 designers and 2 photographers. but due to such a small team, they’ve all learnt to adapt to take on one another's roles. He further explained that it feels like a school group project that’s gone really well. Which I think is quite cool and fairly inspiring. I love the idea of feeling as though what your creating doesn’t feel too much like work but in-fact a hobby that you and some peers have pulled off really well.

As great as working with big brands and big names is great and still a huge dream of mine, i think the idea of creating something amazing from scratch with people you love is just as rewarding if not more so.

When asked about the design and thought processes behind Swim Magazine, Daniel explained how he and the rest of the team wanted to really ‘try to be like no other magazine.’ Most magazines feel a bit inaccessible, they take themselves quite seriously and rightly so. They’re normally for academics and can be quite patronising to most. They’re filled with fancy text and old paintings in which everyone feels as though they need to understand whats going on. People become scared to open anything creative because most of the time they feel some what unwelcome and uncomfortable.  

This actually reminds me of our other current project, YCN briefs (art fund). The issue is people finding museums and galleries intimidating because they feel aa though they need to be knowledgable on the subject. But it’s also deemed as quite an acquired taste to know anything at all when it comes to art and design. Trying to get the other 50% of the population to break this myth. 

Daniel and his team really wanted to keep things honest and casual and show work from behind the scenes in the meantime.

Swim Magazine was and is for friends who weren’t/ aren’t getting the exposure they deserved. Explaining how the magazine is nice to include famous and well-known artists but actually it’s just as nice to see a close friend be featured. ‘Fame really isn’t at the heart of what we look at.’ The magazine is created with content that isn’t what we normally see from artists. They show the hidden work. It creates an un-comfort for artists and agencies. It can be a tough sell but if they get a breakthrough the results are always amazing.

The team at Swim created a section in the magazine where artists could fulfil a brief. This lead artists to finally make pieces they never had the balls to make but always wanted to. Once again providing and un-comfort. However, due to vulnerability shown, it makes the audience of readers feel as though they’re almost part of a cool secret group.”

A Tweet History // Written by Daniel Milroy Maher // 31.07.2019

“This colossal book takes 600 pages worth of a user’s tweets and transforms them, along with the format of Twitter itself, into a historical printed artefact. In doing so, Jaap and Darien interrogate the same ideas of information overload, data excess, and the ramifications of being overwhelmed by such things.”

I really like the way this editorial project handles large type with minimalistic, white space. I especially like the spread that has the large text directly in the middle, this is something I could play around with in my own design, on either side, if I have the time.
