Oh Comely (UK)
- Calming photographs.
- Neutral and natural colours.
- Simple and light illustrations.
- Eleni Kalorkoti - shape based and textural.
- Line based illustrations - similar to how I make images.
- Lorna Leigh Harrington - line combined with flat colour and shape, selective use of white. Very simple, using minimal colour to add depth, detail and contrast.
Happinez (The Netherlands)
- Earthy colours.
- Nordic themed feature - sustainability, botanicals, natural, handmade, homeware.
- Living slowly and simply.
- Potato page - about appreciating the most basic things.
- Textiles - pattern, eastern influence, cosy, warm.
- Cooking - taking the time to make something special, traditional, earthy, natural.
At this very early stage in my research I am just trying to identify themes in these lifestyle magazines. The ones I have chosen here, Oh Comely and Happinez, feel quite indulgent. It’s all about slow living and taking time for yourself which is a theme that fits with my intentions at this point.
