OUGD505: Studio Brief 1 - Extended Research: Icon Magazine

OUGD505: Studio Brief 1/ Licence to print money   

Icon Magazine

Through my research of Brutalist Architecture I  started taking inspiration from architecture photography particularly within the Icon magazine which became a strong source of architectural inspiration which works well at blending art and architecture into an engaging aesthetic. Established in 2003 by Marcus Fairs it recently celebrated its 150th issue with a further redesign, this refined the content and created an engaging aesthetic that could be translated into a potential design direction. 


Icon article on brutalism http://www.iconeye.com/opinion/review/item/12444-concrete-concep I particularly liked the aesthetic used within the imagery for this article, the modular imagery can be developed into an engaging design direction that represents the moment in an contemporary aesthetic.
