Illustration - Entire Magazines and Newspapers

December 2020
LWLies is a film magazine powered by illustration. This edition is no different, only the illustrations now move. Presenting KineRama – an age-old cinematographic process lovingly revivified for this unique print edition. The design draws its inspiration from cover film The Souvenir by Joanna Hogg – a haunting study of a young woman discovering true artistic expression while locked in a testing relationship. Illustration throughout the magazine is presented using a barrier grid animation technique, and serves a wider thematic celebration of innovation in British cinema across the last century.
