We’d like to welcome Portsmouth-based graphic designer Megan Milum as part of our People of Print Membership programme. We’ve chosen to showcase an interesting conceptual project created by Milum focused around the idea of inspiration. The word ‘inspiration’ is used frequently throughout the design industry, people are desperate to know where a popular designer retrieves their inspiration from to create their great work. Milum found this word used equally as frequent throughout her degree, and found herself scrolling through the internet in search for it, which just made her more uninspired than inspired.
From this insight, Milum gathered information on the different ways we can get inspired and interviewed post graduates students on their advice and tips on what they do to keep inspired. Then, from her findings she conceptualised a magazine that would provide young creatives with a burst of quarterly inspiration, trying to prevent them automatically going straight to online sources. Digital platforms have taken over a huge chunk of where creatives find references from as it’s so quick, easy and free to access unlike print where it’s more permanent and generally costs to use.
Milum’s magazine, titled Idea Juice, would be intended as a subscription magazine where you sign up for the year and receive an issue quarterly. The mag itself uses several different paper stocks, increasing the engagement with the content on its pages giving it a more tactile feel. In addition, with each issue, a selection of goodies such as a pen and sketchbook to scribble ideas on would be included also. Check out the rest of Milum’s work via the links below.
