Photography-based Magazine Exploring London's Intimate Living Spaces
Magazine of Personal Space
Magazine TerTor is about five international Londoners, who each introduced their intimate territories in the city. Barbican, Tate Britain, Hampstead Heath, Pimlico are introduced with personal narratives and voices.
How it started
This project began with a curiosity about the places people truly cherish when living in a new city, rather than the must-visit tourist spots. I was also curious about what spaces exist in people’s memories. I conducted research in magazine shops in London, studying the various formats and themes of current magazines to develop a theme. I aimed to communicate this through appropriate art direction and photography. I still believe in the emotional impact that paper can offer, and through this project, I discovered the joy of planning and printing.
Typeface and Art Direction
Since it was an intimate personal narrative about space, I focused on capturing close-up shots and tightly framed spaces, emphasizing a personal feel through ink-blurred typography.
