I was asked to design a magazine spread for the article Concerning the Spiritual in Indie Rock. After familiarizing myself with its content, I decided it would be more creative, interesting, and appropriate to design a traditional scroll. Both the illustrations and background image/texture is custom made. This was a great lesson in designing for the content.

With the combination of global usage of the internet and the constantly growing popularity of social media and platforms, the way people read and learn about one another has drastically changed over the last ten years. Digital photography and printing has opened up a wide spectrum of new forms of communicating. Words are in many instances no longer the main medium to communicate and preserve stories. As we are becoming a more and more visual culture able to read and interpret visual information, the traditional way of biographic story telling might no longer be the best way.

The objective for this project was to create a poster around a collection of everyday things. I chose to take a different approach to the idea of tea culture and created a poster that creates a focus around the origin and history of tea.  Rohstoff in German is raw and natural and tee is the word tea. The poster exemplifies raw and natural tea.

This project aims to celebrate and take a look beyond the beautiful imagery of the social media site Pinterest, and give the Photographers and Artists creating the featured imagery some attention.There has been a lot of discussion surrounding the grey area of posting other peoples intellectual property on Pinterest without giving proper credit. Even though one of the main aspects of Pinterest is the ability to go to the original source of the media, Pinterest users or “Pinners” rarely check the links connected to the images they see in their news feed.
