The summer vacation is coming to an end, and students will also begin to enter the busy art study application stage. In order to ease everyone's nervousness, Natural Light recommends some beautiful fashion magazines today! So what we recommend today is the school journal founded by our future students! For us, the foreign top art school journal is not only a magnificent brochure of the school, but also a high-level "teaching material" that combines visual aesthetics, teaching achievements and professional sharing! Today, I summarized the journals of these 10 top universities. Among them, there are fashion blockbusters like VOGUE, i-D that dare to speak for advanced style and culture, and the most authoritative American table reading that has passed through two centuries. They are absolutely as interesting as gossip weekly!
Journals of top foreign art schools:
Rhode Island School of Design RISD XYZ
[Professional index]: ★★★★
[Good looking index]: ★★★★
[Highlight]: Who doesn't love magazines that are "gossip and human"!
Rhode Island School of Design Our school journal is called RISD XYZ. This year is the tenth year since it was published. Two volumes a year are divided into spring and autumn. Rhode Island has a strong artistic atmosphere, and graphic design and illustration are its popular majors. Students are of course skilled in making art magazines, so RISD XYZ is a very beautiful business magazine in terms of content and visual effects.
Each issue of the magazine has several sections - Look, Listen, and to learn. The contents include campus events, exhibitions, student works, and news in the design circle. As the Rhode Island School Journal said when it was founded, it is a journal that naturally brings rich inspiration to students.
We all know that there are many well-known alumni in Rhode Island, and the school magazine also solicits contributions from alumni every year. In addition to the analysis of professional opinions, the content of these contributions will even publish "life events" such as alumni 'weddings, funerals and weddings, as well as "people seeking notices" to help students who have not met for a long time regain contact information. It is a very "human" magazine.
RCA ARK&A
[Professional index]: ★★★★★
[Good looking index]: ★★★★
[Reason for Recommendation]: The book that collects the essence of 30 years of immortal schools is also for immortals
Royal College of Art As a top British art school with a long history, it started to establish a school journal as early as 1950, named ARK, sponsored by Huangyi, which publishes the works and theoretical research of the most outstanding British artists every year. This school journal was closed in 1978 and published 54 issues in 28 years. ARK is not only a school journal but also a record of the existence of British art and cultural life.
In 2015, students of Huangyi's Department of Visual Communication sorted out the contents of the past three decades from ARK and integrated them into a new color book, which includes various rare texts and classic image works. These materials together vividly outline the changes in Britain's attitude and methods towards art and design after World War II.
In 2015, Huangyi also launched a new version of the school magazine - 'A', which is published once a year. The content and layout are designed by students in school. Huangyi encourages the integration and crossover of various art disciplines, so most of the content selected by the school magazine comes from the innovative works of outstanding students in that year. The school journal is distributed to students free of charge, but not for sale.
Central Saint Martin School of Art and Design CSM 1 Granary
[Professional index]: ★★★★★
[Good looking index]: ★★★★★
[Highlight]: It is the one that is as good as VOGUE!
Central Saint Martin's school magazine is worthy of its position in the fashion circle. This school magazine named 1 Granaryde is like a highly mature fashion magazine. It is published every quarter for five years, and has its own online sales platform (almost all are sold out at the same time).
The magazine makes use of the rich fashion resources of Saint Martin, and its content gathers interviews with famous designers, fashion week scenes, student works, etc. The most attractive part of the magazine is the shooting of various fashion films, and most of the works are first-hand materials provided by Saint Martin's students or alumni, which are highly referential.
1 Granary's translation into Chinese is the meaning of the first granary, which also expresses the original intention of Central Saint Martin's magazine. This magazine has been committed to exploring the alternative path of today's young fashion designers, so it has published many students' discussions on different forms of the clothing industry.
In addition, magazines are also very interesting in terms of layout and content. The magazine has published interesting stories or early photos and works of fashion industry leaders, including John Galliano and Alexander McQueen, when they were at school.
Rochester Institute of Technology RIT POSITIVE/NEGATIVE
[Professional index]: ★★★★
[Good looking index]: ★★★★★
[Highlight]: Photography+plane, the most artistic story meeting in history
Although RIT is a comprehensive college, it is indeed a famous art design major, among which photography and visual communication have been rated as the top 10 majors in the United States by US News for many years. This magazine, POSITIVE/NEGATIVE, consists of these two professional cooperation projects.
This whole magazine is the product of "interdisciplinary". Every project in the magazine is jointly created by a graphic designer and a photographer. They create a complete story according to their desired theme. The theme of the story only needs to choose positive or negative directions.
Some of these stories are true, and some are behind stories that students imagine according to photos, but they will express some interesting views through these stories. These art majors sometimes even teach the boys in the school how to dress.
The most unique thing about this magazine as a school journal is that it hardly has any color of the RIT campus. It just hopes that every student can be an independent opinion speaker, which is also the most proud thing for the founder of POSITIVE/NEGATIVE. There are other magazines on the RIT campus, such as Reporter and Signatures, which are more like a summary campus journal.
