When I started planning the PR event for my magazine, I was struggling because the theme of my magazine was ‘Youth’ and I felt that it didn’t fit in with the Barbican style and I didn’t know how to reflect the feeling of youth. Then I thought about the elements of youth: firstly, who you want to be (when you grow up), secondly, who you really are and who you show to others (with a mask on), and thirdly, friendships that don’t make sense. I came up with a project that would reflect these three themes. The idea is that everyone puts on the person they want to be or dresses up in clothes they wouldn’t normally dare to wear and communicates with others, eventually guessing who each other are. This plan focuses on being your true self and communicating with others.
The second idea is that youth is like a flower blooming at every moment instead of being inferior, and that youth is about recklessness. So the second PR event was to use mirrors and cameras to record every happy moment of different people to guide and remind others.
I came up with five titles for the zine and a tagline that I thought would best fit my zine
