When discussing the final product with my peers some key comments were made surrounding the design/structure of the publication. In aesthetical terms it was suggested that the magazine promoted a 'loud and proud' nature showcasing that LGBTQ members should be proud of their sexuality and not hide it. Adding to this it was suggested that the bold photography and type styles showcase an eye-catching, impactful design that would capture the consumers attention.
When thinking about the project as a whole I would suggest that it was fast passed, fun and allowed myself a greater insight into editorial design. It also allowed myself to use a professional printers for the first time, allowing a greater knowledge of industry.
I would suggest that the final piece portrays LGBTQ members as strong and powerful individuals who have overcome discrimination in many forms. Promoting a strong hierarchical label, the design showcases that the individuals present a rhetoric of mimicry, removing negative connotations associated with the words:Gay, Bisexual, and Queer. This is further embedded within the use of colour within the publication.
As the final piece was to function as an outlet for discussion within the LGBTQ community, the content presented showcases this, highlighting that Queer individuals are often discriminated against. As the other function of the magazine was to work as a portfolio piece for Erin, I would suggest that her photography has been presented in a strong editorial in which highlights her imagery as a key piece of hierarchy.
