VALENTINA- SUSPIRA MAGAZINE- CREATIVE CONVOS

Suspira Magazine











 What did you do before suspira?

-fashion design and then fashion journalism
-w project x tate exchange women at tate modern
-worked 3 days a week unpaid

Did you always want to be a creative director?

The aim was not to be a creative director but the more she did masters she realised creative director is a multitude of things that is taking ideas and making them into concepts wich is what she thinks she was made to do.

biggest challenge?

how to pay your bills without selling my soul

feminist angle took some time to come about. 

how important is women

very important, i think that showing any minority is important to 
different ethnicities gender 
horror in graphic design 

monster issue design?

inituition- get an idea and a feeling 
covered mental health and tackling your inner demons putting a name and a face to it
face of fear 
clowns- should be a face of joy but has been turned into something scary, phobias
fear mongering
evolution of the monster

do you always see suspira as print or will you move into digital?
the prints and the materials and the way it sits in your hands doesn't do it justice as you cant see things that you do in the flesh like the metalic 
logo is embossed 

theme 
hard to keep it the same but kept some of the typefaces and the paper and the logo 

process for research where were you looking?
organic decision 
monster issue had people come forward that couldn't be included
knew that she wanted it to be late 60's and graining 
graphic horror and making it aesthetically pleaseing 

sabbath instagram and social media her friend and editor of the magazine

Did you have any setbacks?

not really any 
maybe the relationship with the printers 

she luckily had a great network of people around her
