NEST Magazine is here and today I got my hands on a copy from the Leeds College of Art Students' Union. This issue is the biggest yet, packed full of articles, interviews, illustrations, photographs and so much more all contributed from students in a wide range of courses within the College presented in full colour of around 48 A4 pages that make up this magazine.
As it gets bigger so does the cost of printing, with this sponsors and adverts present within the print is understandable, but rather than be taken over my adverts that stand out as eye sores between pages, NEST took a different approach. Each advert is designed and created by a student which in turn gives the sponsor a fantastic slot for an audience to see and done in a way that flows with the colour and design of the whole magazine.
It is great opportunity to write for this magazine especially over the last two years. NEST has been a publication that has challenged me in my writing, giving me weird and wonderful tasks and subjects that has taken me outside my comfort zone and helped me get back into writing. This issue is the current editors last, it has been a pleasure working with Kai and Sacha and I look forward to how the new editor envisions the future of NEST.
Here's a sneak preview video....
NEST will be available at Leeds College of Art and other various locations around Leeds.
