Makeshift Magazine

http://www.magspreads.net/2012/03/makeshift-issue-02-mobility.html








"Makeshift is a quarterly print and online magazine about creativity in unlikely places, from the favelas of Rio to the alleys of Delhi. These are environments where resources may be scarce, but where ingenuity is used incessantly for survival, enterprise, and a self-expression. Makeshift believe in an industrial future fueled by networks of makers, from roadside engineers to co-working creatives.Makeshift are documenting a movement of hackers, sharers, and entrepreneurs innovating under resource constraints. Makeshift is about people, the things they make, and the context they make them in."

Really like the layout and the grid they have used to produce the spreads. The composition is something I will be using for inspiration when considering how to apply it to my own work, with the exception of using much more bold colours to bring my own work to life. It is something I strongly believe in and think makes something more engaging when using appropriate colour combinations to enhance overall impact. Especially when dealing with content heavy work.
