Emerging brand & Publication
Project footsteps
synopsis Creating a new brand, that is a biannual subscription publication consisting of reliable and honest aspects on the topic of travel and fashion. Marketed to women directly and others indirectly to strengthen empowerment, encouragement and appreciation. Explaining through journalistic writing and various collaborative visuals with photographers and illustrators, as well as other creative, the psychogeographic theory that the influence of geographical environment effect the mind and/or on behaviour. By choosing to expose themselves to real life situations may it be comfortable or not, it allows the consumer to grow and become wiser as well as adaptable. An important movement and message I chose to encourage and deliver within this publication/brand. Additionally creating an online platform for consumers to share, engage and connect with each other and the brand itself. Encouraging women to aspire without limitations through their stories and advice given within the brand. Displaying beneficial aspects of travel as well as fashion, as a long life learning environment. A guide-like publication. Deciding to have a physical publication as a brand is due the product being tangible, allowing the product to stay within the holders possession for many years. Print offers the idea that it is credible and establishes the brand, as it introduces the new brand as being serious/confident and professional to dedicate time and effort to creating a physical product for consumers to believe in, as digital content can now be published by anyone. Additionally on average 43 minutes is spent by consumers reading a magazine which defeats the digital content where often 15 seconds are spent to skim a site. This results to a more engaging platform to widen the target market worldwide.

Problem & Solution
What is different ?
The common issue I see, is the fact that most travel related magazines and publications have become commercialised and one of the biggest facts is Volunteering abroad. Starting from making consumers believe that they are helping out the less developed countries, when in fact it is just a way to make more money, that you don’t even are aware off where it gets spent. From personal experiences to other stories, has created the theory that there is more to helping abroad than just going to classic camps for Instagram posts click bait.
The difference is, we do not focus on selling, but stick to informing.

Marketing to the direct consumer does not mean it is closing doors for other readers that are not directly marketed to them, it is still open to them, as parents, men, ages and more. It is an influential travel and fashion guide. Assisting comfort and relief from stress of the planning process of where to go and what to and look out for. A NG PI IK
Instead of trying to fulfil the standard online that only make us compare ourselves and feel defeated, the focus will be on creating your pathway of what you want to develop and explore within yourself. More interactive, bringing movement back and being happy and content not compared.

It will explain the difficulties you can face and how to avoid or solve the scenario. All in all to encourage to become adaptable by creating their own battles of adventure to learn about themselves and develop their environmental behaviours and perspectives.

No matter the budget or the fear. There is something out there that will allow you to become adaptable and strongminded. Not selling trips but displaying the benefits of travel of any kind and style. Teaching budgeting and that possibilities of any range.

Travel is a big factor on how we develop and become adaptable and handle various situations as well as overall outlook on environmental behaviour. This brand and publication is here to stand as a guide to display the ventures opportunities with the truth.

‘footsteps’ is a publication that focuses and values honesty. A journal and guide-like feel, discussing the truth about travelling especially as a women. Whether the intent is to discover themselves or purely want to experience different cultures. It discuss the dangers you can come across and the culture restrictions in some countries and advises how to feel confident, comfortable and stay respectful for the country and its culture and environment without culturally appropriating and still feeling fashionable. While keeping a bright, light, adventures, fresh and spontaneous feel to our readers, ‘footsteps is offering solutions and alternatives catering to the consumers travel intentions.
To communicate that the adventures life and risk taking aspect is needed in your life at least once, encouraging self-empowerment and uncover your own capabilities in real life situations. From the psychogeogrpahic theory that the influence of geographical environment has effects the mind and/or on behaviour. Bringing in the benefits and encouragements of travel.
Travelling = Wisdom
Concept
Honesty saves everyone’s time.
‘footsteps’ believes that the more you travel the wiser you become on how to not only handle and respect yourself and your environment, but how to appreciate the little things, the natural things and the people around you as well as the different cultures. You become more open minded and optimistic.
Those who do not travel, have only read the first page of their own book.
So no matter the dangers. Danger is all around us and if we restrict our self because of the fear of something then we are hindering to seeing true value of many aspects of living . So no matter what the message that ‘footsteps’ wants to bring across consumers is that you need to experience real life by going out there even if there are difficult situations to face, to learn how to adapt and handle various real life scenarios and become more open to everything and to grow as a person as well as extend their own capabilities. Not to sit at home and try experience the world through a screen. This develops the consumer not only culturally but mentally, their behaviours changes in a way as they have more respect for minimal aspect in life itself. Allowing yourself to expose your mind to the world and become adaptable.
Beauty in the smallest things we don’t notice. Hidden treasures in corners of streets, the influences of small flower in Philippines that are in corners of pavements growing like weeds. Bringing them out with the combination of flowers that are at eye level to create a vibrant appreciation of nature’s beauty and where our colours have come from naturally. Not only are they communicating passion, Happiness, calmness, creativity and strength but the idea that our environment is an influence to everyday life and how we perceive it.

Challenging the commercial aspects of magazine and speaking about the honestly travelling as a girl but offering the benefits, solutions and alternatives to traveling as a female.
Honest
However the most competitors have had the same start up and are still conceder-ably niche to the market. To compete it needs a good message of word of mouth, sponsors, endorsements and publicity through social media. All part of building up the brand. The main competitors are Cereal and Boat, through the layout, concept approaches and photography.
Cereal
The other competitors in the same topic and categories in the market platform are well known brands such as like Conde Nast travller, a more mass market competitor but is more commercial and driven away from its original core value.

Placement
As the brand is about collaborations and input from travellers and consumers themselves the content origin is around the world. Physically the brand production will be placed in the UK. ‘footsteps’ will be sold worldwide as a subscription that consumers can opt for to receive biannually. However single purchase can be made online as well as from some small selected stores in the UK such as Books and Beans, 5th View Bar and Food, London Review bookshop, Maison Assouline and other independent and established stores. With future plans of working with STA-Travel
The product aspects of ‘footsteps’ itself is a publication that is released biannually due to the amount of content it needs and travel time to overview enough decent value. Consumers can choose weather to by the print in their own time separately or sign up to a subscription plan where they receive the print in advanced of the official release date. Packed with a press pack that is refillable.
‘footsteps’ consumers have a wide audience that fulfil the needs for various tribes. However, the New Value seeks, New Millennials and Lifelong learners are the focused target tribe. Without eliminating other consumers who seek reliability of honest perspectives the brand indirectly is open to other of any gender and age.

As well as collaborate with brands such as ASOS, Paperchase, Urban Outfitters, STA-Travel, John Lewis.
The elements of the publications content all create an adventures, youthful and fresh mood and atmosphere, keeping that idea of risk taking and optimism of real stories within the writing and images included. A relaxed tone of voice with an assertive feel of empowerment and inspiration of venturing out for beneficial reasons will be projected through the content.
The products included pushed the encouragement of contributing to change one step at a time. As travel is not great on our carbon footprint, the brand encourages to at least reduce other aspects that are easy to adjust. Such as our clothes and causal everyday products. Items such as Travel safe bottles and jars that hold under 100ml products, made out of frosted glass and bamboo lids, Bamboo straws and cutlery set, Bamboo toothbrush and key chain as well as bamboo socks and recycled denim pencils. All packed in pinatex ( pineapple leather) wash bag and recycled weekender bag. This pack is the consumers starter pack to make the change real and easy.

Plan
PINATEX Wash bag
in collaboration with Georgia Bennett
Screen printing technique was used to create small logos inside the bag for the pockets
The design of the bag is simple and easy to use the main component of the bag had to be that it fitted enough items for the consumers trip. With a sturdy zip and secure design allows all the items to be safe within the bag. I wanted to create options of colour so I began with creating a black and red version of this wash bag. one that is more out there and can become a fashion statement piece and another that is more neutral and universal to all consumer taste.
YKK zippers for a secure and sturdy function.
The idea behind creating a wash bag is to give the consumer a starter pack that is useful as well as promoting the brand. While continuing the aesthetics and ethics of the brand of wanting to travel with eco friendly products, I wanted to make the bag out of pineapple leather so the luxury feel in aesthetics is still applied. Allowing the consumer to be more conscious of their purchases in the future.
Any left over fabric was then used to create a small coin purse for travelling as well as any tags and labels needed so nothing went to waste.
Minimal structure and shape of aesthetics, universal and more adaptable as must have item.
Final Outcome
footsteps x upcycle Who is Upcycle ?
The Plan
upCYCLE is a new accessories and bag company which seeks to challenge the status quo and provide an alternative, that is not only stylish and on trend but also sustainable option for the conscious consumer.
To create a weekend bag based on the research of what consumers responded based on what they needed for shorter trips. Focusing on comfort, space but still looks small, sleek and easy to carry.
Created in 2018, upCYCLE has focused on re purposing textile waste in the fashion industry to try and reduce the external cost to society that the fashion industry produces.
upCYCLE’s vision is to educate the consumer to the negative externalities that arise from the fashion industry and seek to educate them that the current way in which we buy clothes (seasonally) is no longer a viable option.
Look book created before deciding to create a collaborative weekender bag.
Picked bags that were suitable within the asthetics of the footsteps publication volume 1.
To pick a suitable donated fabric that suits the aesthetics and colour palette of the first release of footsteps publication. Thinking about the consumers style needs and wants as well as functionality of being able to fit enough items for a weekend or small day trips.
I decided to use the same fabric, of the donated airline blankets and more to build the weekender bag, as it suits within the theme of the topic as well as ethics.
For the future they want to provide an infrastructure in which the only option for the consumer is to throw out used clothing, so if they can provide a viable alternative the problem of textile waste will be drastically reduced.
Their aim is to be at the forefront of the sustainable collective seeking to challenge the fashion industry’s waste and reduce its environmental impact.
Thick width handle for support of the bag and shoulder to avoid slip off the shoulder.
Toile test of having handles outside or inside of the bag lining and cover. Working with colours that suit the pallet of the recent publication of footsteps. Simple shape and form, for easy use, big enough to store paper documents in case it is for business trip.

FOOTSTEPS
Who is Gentlewoman
Content from ambitious journalism to photography, displaying a beautiful collection of inspirational women in a publication. Empowering women and giving recognition where its due. To encourage others and celebrate women of every kind.
Talking about journeys and accomplishments through all the hard work and other good and bad press on peoples story.
Gentlewomen collaborates with multiple people and brands that encourages empowerment and support for one another. To show pride in the success achieved, as well as come together to show inspiring fashion and art. Whether it is from telling a journey of someone successes and how difficult the battles were to get there or simply giving the recognition of something amazing and emerging within the community that Gentlewomen have created.
Gentlewomen feature
Project Gentlewomen
Gentlewoman is about celebrating modern women of today. Whether it is of style or purpose. Offering multiple perspectives on fashion as well as behaviour for instants on how they think, dress, believe or achieved.
Here is an example of K-Swiss ad on Anna Kournikova, laying across the tennis court captioned ‘KEEP IT PURE’ . The pose and composition of the whole image is unrelated and confusing. She is there to be an object to create this image of the brand representation, ignoring the fact of the talent and her purpose. A lazy excuse for a women to be barley covered for a laying on the floor ad. Advertising when watching a game you can expect to see this , not an exciting game. Both adverts are heavily sexualized, the Nike advert with Sharapova’s slogan is essentially saying that you should “try” and keep your eye on the ball implying that it would be a challenge to take your eye off Sharapova and that people watch to see her body and not to see one of the best female tennis players in the world. Simply using her body as an object to represent their brand rather than taking her serious as a tennis player. It is interesting is that sharipova was one of the best in the world whereas kornikova was never the best, she was good not at the highest standard but because she was very attractive she was one of the biggest names in female tennis
Previously had a story on Maria Sharapova as renown and distinct woman in Gentlewoman issue. Made me think how much misconception happens within women in the news especially women in sports. Women often get recognition on the way they look rather than their talents in the sport.
The big topic of when women used to be forbidden to play gold in the clubhouse.
How Mildred Zaharias in 1947 was the first to win the British Women’s Amateur title. Has brought the start of women striving for what they wan to do, and not going down without a fight of the rights.
Idea To style a shoot to feature in Gentlewomen that represents appreciation and celebration of some of the ambitious women who made little steps of changing the stigma of women in sports and other job roles that are typically assigned and seen only in a male figure. In a 50’s style and aesthetics, creating a colour pallet within that era to displaying the stage of juxtaposition roles of female in any career goal situation. Showing no matter the looks, women will play the role if they strive for it, without stress. Wanting to display effortless switch roles within the character created in the image. Creating a ‘Women can do it all & in style ’ feel of the image.
AIM/goal To create a series of images styled to show women empowerment as well as show the juxtaposition and journey they have come through within sports and any other male dominated roles, that either have been dismissed, unheard or miscommunicated through media. Displaying that women can be bosses and do their own thing with any career choice and ambitions. Displaying style, class and power.
