Magazine - Heat Remixed

WHAT A WAY TO END THE WEEK? Incase anyone saw me rockin the old double plaster at todays review of stage 3 and wondered how it had happened. This should explain slightly. CRACKED GLASS+TRYING TO WASH WITH CLOTH x DANGER = HAND LEAKES. Nearly had to go to hospital but NURSE JAT got some TCP and Plasters from the 24 hour shop opposite our flat. ( I bet the owners were puzzled/scared when a guy comes in at 1am asking for TCP + Plasters)

Anyway back to week 3. My starting point for this section was from the angle of what would make me buy HEAT magazine. As it stood it was probably the last magazine i would ever buy. Ben got me thinking about what kind of mags do i sit about reading skate,music,tech mags mainly. If anyone doesn't know this then now is the time to learn, skaters love t-shirts no matter what kind but there are literally thousands of skateboard companys that just make t-shirts for the skateboarding world. I waned to see how i could manipulate the content if heat into something slightly realistic that u might find on a skate T-shirt on a skater somewhere in London.

I thought as this project went on it would get easy and more fun, but it hasn't. It's been the total opposite every week i have been more tired more undecided and frustrated with this whole project.

This coupled with what was expected and trying to do something creative and innovative just left me totally exhausted and penny-less (t-shirt cost about £35 equal to a weeks worth of food at some beers) I spoke to Ben on friday and he seemed happy about my plans for a T-shirt that would fit my content from HEAT magazine into a wearable magazine garment that still reflected the style of skateboarding magazine DOCUMENT which after putting into practice what i have learnt this project have found this to be the best layed out and produced. Where as before i thought they were all very similar.













Making the T-shirt was a lot harder/expensive/time consuming than i first thought. I did a couple of test prints and the paper that i got from the shop was working well, and so i decided to carry on with this process. Got my layout sorted and cut to fit into A3 pages for printing.


Printing went ok apart from costly, ironed it all on as best i could as it is not the easyest thing to work with but got there in the end.
