Hello Grafik!

Last year in school, my first semester, I was finding it very difficult to get motivated. I was becoming more and more frustrated with myself. My projects were lacking creativity and I came to the conclusion that this was the end of my design potential. However, one day this all changed! It actually started with a casual stroll down Whyte avenue when I decided to check out Chapters, it had been awhile since I had a good read. Instead of finding my next novel, a busy, bright colored, cover of a magazine caught my eye. I picked it up. Inside I was thrilled to find typography pages, blog pages, editor letters, graphic art, logo forms, photography. Immediately the magazine was getting me excited. Especially because we had a massive project due in Typography, completing a Veer Magazine…
It was called Grafik Magazine, and I loved it! 
It’s a magazine based out of London. It has a quirky, cutting-edge style and while the writing holds a fair amount of humor in it, it is still very informative. After becoming a fan of the book I shortly became a fan of the website. Although the site is unfortunately under construction you can still visit the virtual edition for the time being. The amount of creativity that goes into this magazine and site is definitely impressive. The work of the Grafik team helped me out of a serious design rut, which I am grateful for. I hope that they will inspire and amuse you and as much as they did for me. Enjoy!
