Lens Flare Magazine

Lens Flare Magazine aims to capture both the Lens of the camera and the Flare of the trick. The concept of this magazine simultaneously promotes the unique aesthetic of skate culture while merging photography and typography into an exciting and dynamic visual feel. The contrast between weighty sans serif type and hand-written sharpy emphasises the creative individuality within the subculture of skaters. This creative individuality is further pushed through the concept of reader involvement with the photography for each of the covers – sharing the same dimensions as a Polaroid – being sourced through audience submissions.
