FMP Research

Video i found which follows one guys quest across america to get himself 'branded' the more research i am doing on this subject the more fascinated i become by it, what was once a form of punishment is now being used as a form of decoration. Im astonished by the amount of people who want to be scared for life by a piece of metal that is used to melt away the flesh. I personal have many tattoos, all of which mean significant times or changes in my life so tell a personal story, but i can not get my head around being physically scared in this way, is it a personal statement? is it a pleasure thing?.....

  1. http://www.scottking.co.uk/ and ID magazine was two main areas I taught whilst you were off. Scott king is a god in the magazine world as far as layout and design are concerned. ID magazine has seen off loads of its rivals such as The Face, which was famously art directed by Neville Brody. What do you read? Do you buy magazines for the art direction only - I do!!! I never read much of Sleaze Nation as it was rubbish, editorially, well I thought it was at the time, turns out it was actually brilliant. I used to buy it because of the art direction...

    OK, you have the brief - now make a magazine of your choice...

    good luck
