Garment Magazine in quarantine
April 01, 2020Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create a physical magazine in times of social distancing and self-quarantine, with group members that happen to be in different countries all over the world? It sure has been challenging for us students in the minor Fashion & Editorial Branding! Cancelled photoshoots, interviews by Skype-only and no meeting up with each other in real life to discuss page design. Instead of focussing on all the challenges we faced, we decided to look at the new possibilities this unique situation brings. Because there are so many things we can still do and self-quarantine has made creative geniuses of us all.
Or tips for everybody working in a team during times of isolation? Please chat, call and Face Time each other as much as you can. Not only to discuss work, but also to check up on each other, talk about our thoughts and feelings and to entertain ourselves. Really take an effort to support each other has been a crucial part in our collective mental health. Always make sure your friends are okay. And one last tip before we go: Don’t forget to have fun.
Love, team Garment Magazine
PS on Friday we will present our magazines, so stay tuned.
