The Something Issue//

A lot of the magazines we looked at when we were trawling through our collections produced each issue with a different theme, which is something we liked. For example, i-D have recently produced 'The Lovers of Life' issue, the latest 125 is the America issue, and Nylon have done a Denim issue.

We'd like to use this as a focus for our zine, so we started thinking of ideas for different issues.

We'll have to think of some good type to go with each issue, but so far we've settled on doing a Photography issue, and an issue dedicated entirely to Supermodels. More issue ideas to come..!

Jalouse et Nylon//

Jalouse has become a huge inspiration for our zine, as we love the thrown together vibe the layout gives off. Kate found the magazine on our trip to Paris, and fell in love with the cut and paste style, similar to that of another of our favourite magazines - Nylon. Both have quite similar styles, and the kind of scrap book vibe they give off is something we'd like to emulate with The Factory. In Jalouse, they even incorporated some doodles into one of the photoshoots.

We really liked the scribbled effect over this feature on young blogger Tavi - again, it is similar to the idea we liked of having interviewees complete their answers onto a photograph, as with the Mario Sorrenti shoot and the spread from Oyster magazine.

The Factory Heart//

As a team, we are quite lucky in the way that all three of us are fairly obsessive about magazines. So, coming together and looking at our favourite magazines played an important part in developing a sense of what we wanted our zine to look like, and even feature. The next few posts will be about the magazines we love and how we aim to take inspiration from them for The Factory.

Sorrenti X Moss//

Here's the photo/interview page of Kate Moss, with shoot by Mario Sorrenti that is similar to the inspirational layout shown below from Oyster magazine. We liked the mix of written and printed type, along with the photo used as the background. This idea could come in useful for interviews - however only short interviews as it could become difficult to read.
