Modern day book worn

Please ignore the title of this post because when you read the content you will think to yourself 'that has nothing to do it with it' but in my head it made sense. Its basically cut into pieces,  as the modern day means one thing and the book one represents another haha.

So for Christmas I was very lucky to get an iPad off father christmas which I was really not expecting so I was one very over the moon chicken! And hand on heart I have not put it down since Christmas day (yes I know my poor eyes). Its like a knew way of life haha- thats a bit dramatic. So with having this as my Christmas present I thought I would consider getting the Vogue magazine subscription on to there as its cheaper and I can read it where I am at anytime, which lead to me discovering some knew magazines which I have never heard of before. And well I never they are good! Cant compare them to Vogue as they are totally diverse and have a much more contemporary feel to them. The name and shame bit now then...

Bullett

is an american magazien based in New York, its a very modern magazine as it was launched in 2010. The reason I like this magazine so much because it has a fresh and virberant feel to it. I covers all sorts of medias such as bold fashions, music, art and films. Bullett likes to be known as a 'Transmedia' Magazine.

 V MAGAZINE

Is a contemporary magazine as it was launched in 1999 and covers everything from fashion being its main focus to art, music, architecture act. Each issue a them such as music, sport, art, models. This issue with JLO on the front was the sports addition.

Obviously Ive still got my normal magazine choices such as Vogue, Elle, Company (which I buy religiously every month), Dazed and Confused which I recently discovered, but I like exploring and finding new magazines to read and find inspiration from!

David Bradley

David Bradley is print textiles designers who has a complete obsession with colour and pattern- which you can see straight away from his work. He is inspired by illusion which also comes across pretty strongly in his work. He uses techniques such as screen printing and dye to create his fabrics while he also uses pleats throughout all his fabrics, by doing this he achieves movement around the body through surface decoration. 

He lives and works in London and in 2011 he won the Texprint award for producing fashion fabrics. His work has featured in magazines such as British Vogue, AnOther magazine, Dazed and Confused, Tank and V Magazine. His work is also on show in London, Milan and Shanghai.

I really like Bradley's work because of the bright colours and the way the fabrics drape. The pleats really pull the fabric together to create the full illusion that he try's to capture. By the way he places the fabric, it looks as if it is delicate and extremely light weight. 

I think I might give using pleats in a fabric ago to create my own illusion...
