This magazine was created by Justin Bautista and Amanda Breach as a collaborative effort to showcase some of the new talent that will be venturing out from University into the working world. As a Graphic Design graduate and an Illustration graduate from Middlesex University we know how going from the world of education to the working world can be scary and as well as a very hard transition. We hope to show various works from as many people as we can allowing each person to express who they are through their work. Our intentions are to help, inform and potentially advertise people and the work they do. Each person is talented in their own way and should have every opportunity to show that to as many people as possible. Creativity Never Stops.

E: sophie1029@hotmail.co.uk What inspires her? “Skinny Japanese men who look like women. An awful lot of Japanese culture such as music, manga, anime, and other Asian artists like Benjamin Zhang and Stanley Lau. I frequently buy Imagine FX to look for good tips but find I can never do it how the artist tells me to. I work with a Wacom bamboo and use Photoshop elements and Manga Studio for line art. I really want to improve on my digital painting as it takes me a massive deal of time to finish a piece. Am self taught and would appreciate taking lessons.�

Historical methods of constructing an image are contrasted with unique manufactured ones and it is ng these multiple applications of paint that McManus presents the physical components of his work.
ation is depicted through a combination of fractured spaces and multiple viewpoints, a visual parody that proves to d unsettle the viewer. There is an intensity in the way his references are reinvented and placed alongside each other ely new context; where images often appear lost within a network of dreamlike scenarios. It is in this sense that pieces ound contain a degree of nostalgia, where historical references seem too personal and intimate to be situated within manticised composition.

Creative, distinctive and passionate is what I envision for my images. I was given my first camera when I was 10 it was a film camera so most of the time I had no film in it but I was still taking photos with it. Due to lots of travelling & relocating in my teens I had less resources to carry on. A few years ago I picked my camera one day and started shooting. I decided to make time to do what I always wanted to do. I started my own Photography called Aurell Photography in Jan 2007,Taking live gig photos for bands Also doing various other side projects. www.aurellphotography.co.uk I also worked for tilllate.com, Taking amazing photos at clubs & events. www.tilllate.com I am a freelance photographer based in Luton and will accept clients and projects in England. My aim is to provide you with the images you want in a fun and friendly way,it’s as simple as that. facebook : Zishan_k Twitter : @Zishan_K E: zi@aurellphotography.co.uk W: http://zishank.carbonmade.com/about http://www.aurellphotography.co.uk
