| Ligature Magazine |
My chosen magazine for this project is Ligature, a publication based in London, and I chose them based on their editorial style and content. With few features, the main bulk of the rather thin A4 magazine is editorial. Images are often soft and slightly grainy, sometimes giving the feeling as though they've been shot with film. They're never overly sharp and crisp like images for fashion titles such as Vogue and W and this style of photography fits my aesthetic well.
The layout of the pages are also to my liking- images are rarely printed to fill an entire page and instead are strategically placed in a sort of minimalist and geometric fashion (much like my sketchbook). More than once has there been a spread where 4 similar cuts of the same pose have been used in a grid and I particularly liked the way this had been laid out on the page. The font used for editorial titles in the magazine isn't my favourite, I would have preferred to see something with capital letters that are sharper to contrast with the soft imagery instead of the rounded script used.
