I-D magazine cover research
I-D magazine is a British bimonthly magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and youth culture. The magazine was founded by designer and former Vogue art director Terry Jones in 1980. The first issue was published in the form of a hand stapled fanzine with text produced on a typewriter.
Over the years the magazine evolved into a mature glossy cover but it kept the street and youth culture central.
The magazine is from Vice Media. The magazine is known for its innovative photography and typography and as a training ground for fresh talent. Photographers such as Wolfgang Tillmans and Terry Richardson have worked with the magazine on multiple occasions. People who have appeared in magazine are as follows Madonna, Alexander McQueen, Kanye West and Raf Simons.
The magazine pioneered the hybrid style of documentary fashion photography called The Straight Up. The tipped on the side logo reveals a wrinkling smile. Most covers have featured a wrinkling cover model.
The brands covers are known for being block colours and simple with no text around the sides unlike other magazines. With a quote to some up the person featured on the cover. This makes the magazine more appealing and makes the magazine more focused on the person of the cover.
Some covers I have liked are Rihanna’s 2015 cover and Timothy Chalemet’s cover. These covers represent the individuals well and the filters on the photos work week together.
