Larkin Poem

A place cannot produce poems,

It can only not prevent them,

And Hull is good at that,

For Hull has its own sudden elegances.

People are slow to leave it,

Quick to return,

And there are others,

Who come for a year or two, and stay a lifetime.

Sensing that they have found a city,

That is in the world,

Yet sufficiently on the edge of it,

To have a different resonance.  – Phillip Larkin

Let me tell you something about this city, all of us, we’re all just passing through, and we’ve all been here forever. Those who came, those who stayed, those who never returned. Times turn, seasons change. We’ve waited and we’ve watched. But we’ve always been here, we’ve always listened. Because there is a different resonance here, it comes from the river, and the land, and the sky. It’s our place, all of us, this city belongs to everyone. And you know when it’s your time, and it’s out time. Listen we are Hull. The golden rules of Hull: Don’t pretend that you’re something you’re not. Don’t go thinking that you’re better than anybody else. Or that anybody else is better than you. Don’t shout about it, get on with it. We are Hull. We’ve found our voice again. Our rules are meant to be broken, because that’s how things get done. All of us, everybody, we are Hull. The past is ours, the future is ours. It’s our time again, and this city belongs to everyone. This space is ours, this life is ours, the Wolds are ours, the rivers are ours, the roads are ours, the bridges are ours. We are Hull. We’re all visitors, and we’ve all been here forever. We’ve got the mightiest river, and the biggest sky, and there’s a resonance again. We love this city, we’re proud of this place, and we want you to love it too, and this city belongs to everyone. Come here and you’ll feel it, that end of the line sense of freedom. Say yes to Hull, say yes to freedom.

This is what I've typed up after listening to the Hull City of Culture video, ready to give to Eve to put into its designated space with a relevant font that will match the rest of the magazine. I've proof read the entire text to double check everything is correct and have also had the help of a few other people who have also checked it for me for reassurance.

Interview With Local Band 1
Le Bete Blooms

Taslima Tarafdar

Hey guys, I'm an illustration student currently doing a project on making my own magazine, so I plan to include a double page spread about local bands and was hoping you could answer a few questions for me? No worries if you can't. I'll leave my questions here for you if you're available to answer them...
What's the name of your band? What's the origin of that name?
Have you changed the band's name before?
What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are
your major influences?

When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together?
Do you have a record label? Are you a member of any music organizations?
Where have you performed? Do you have any upcoming shows?
Which songs do you perform most frequently? Do you ever play any covers? Do you have a set play list?
Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs? Do you think these topics will change over time?
Could you briefly describe the music-making process? (What job roles each member has in making the music)

Don't have to answer them all, can be as brief as you like, don't want to hassle you too much...
THANK YOU!


La Bête Blooms

What's the name of your band? What's the origin of that name?
La bête blooms, it's a mix of words I had on a page when I was 18 and strung together
What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are
your major influences?
Our lazy answer is just to say post punk. Our background's in music are all pretty weird and separate but the Pixies are a band we all agree on.
How long have you all known each other? How did you meet?
The lineup's chopped and changed a bit since we first started. I met our drummer at college studying music, then pretty much met the others over the course of two years at music nights around Hull.
When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together?
We formed when I was 19 (in 2010). At first it was kind of a charity for the others to step in and help me do my stupid thing, but over time it became a collective creative effort.
Do you have a record label? Are you a member of any music organizations?
We've not worked with anyone but ourselves and other bands really. We've never approached or been approached by any label, despite the fact we have friends who run great local independent record labels of their own. The three places that will always feel like home to us are The Warren (where Stew Baxter has always been supportive of us) The Sesh (a night ran by Mak Page who is the founder of Humber Street Sesh) and the Adelphi (where we first started and who gave us our first opportunities to play).
Where have you performed? Do you have any upcoming shows?
We've performed in Sheffield, Leeds, London, York and Hull over the past year or so. We have a show in Leeds at The Library on April 12th.
Which songs do you perform most frequently?
We have two singles online called 'Home' and 'Sigh Away' they are in and out of our set at the moment. The rest are entirely new and have been written in the past 4 months. We record an E.P of stuff hopefully before summer.
Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs? Do you think these topics will change over time?
I write the songs and then bring them to everyone to add their own parts to them.
Friends and family like to poke fun at me for writing such depressing lyrics, it's kind of my thing haha. But more recently they've become more optimistic, and less centred around me which is probably refreshing for everyone!
What has been your biggest challenge as a band?
The biggest challenge by far for us, is to continue being productive despite the fact that our guitarist beckie and keyboard player Louisa are both students down south. Our drummer James is also in a band called the Colour Line who frequently tour the UK. It can be pretty tough to get anything done!
What's your ultimate goal for your band?
The band gives us a platform to be creative together and I'm grateful that it still exists after three years.
To be able to be self employed as a musician, to tour and release material which can be my main income would be an absolute dream, but we're realistic and know the chances of that are very slim. For now the ultimate goal is for the songs to be heard by as many people as possible
What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands?
The trickiest bit is to get going. When I first started I knew I was terrible at guitar and couldn't really sing. Nothing's really changed in that aspect but I know I've played some great gigs and recorded songs I'm really proud of, achieving a whole lot more on a personal level then if I'd have stayed at home and decided I didn't want to play a crappy open mic on a Friday night.
The Sesh at The Linnet and lark is a great place to meet people within Hull who play music. Promoters, musicians, photographers are there every week on a Tuesday night and can help you get started. And if you're struggling to get people to join a band, visit the Adelphi on a Monday night, it's a free entry music night and countless musicians have met and started bands thanks to it. Recording songs and playing gigs will cost you a lot of money and sometimes you can travel 100 odd miles and play to nobody. But then there's always that one gig which is amazing and makes you want to keep going. If you love music and want to form a band, get on with it

Hope that's okay Taslima, thanks for including us and let us know if you post the magazine online, we'll happily share it about.
All the best

Daniel

I asked friends for a bit of help and input when it came to 'Hull Grub' which would be an extra feature in the magazine if any would be needed. This way I was able to have a bit of the public relate to the magazine feature and make it personal to the people of Hull.

Land Of Green Ginger

These are some pictures I found when searching for 'Land of green ginger'. I thought to make the cover relate more to the name of the magazine I could include some aspects found around the area. However I think I would have to make a visit myself and collect some visuals to have a clearer idea of what the area is actually like and if there any interesting artefacts that I could use to create my cover.

Magazine Research 30

Hull Scenery

For my cover of the magazine I've decided to focus on scenery from Hull which make Hull what it is today. Therefore I've looked at the most popular areas and the people from Hull and outsiders would easily get a glimpse of and recognise. Here I've made a collection of rather impressive and strong images that I've come across when searching for 'Kingston Upon Hull scenery'. I intend to create some designs for possible front covers using these images as my influences.

FELONY

Taslima Tarafdar

Hey guys, as discussed with Sam, I'm an illustration student currently doing a project on making my own magazine, so I plan to include a double page spread about local bands and was hoping you could answer a few questions for me?

What's the name of your band? What's the origin of that name? Have you changed the band's name before?

What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences?

THANK YOU!

Felony

Hi, I'll send you the answers to these tomorrow Marc

Taslima Tarafdar

thank youuuuuuu! much appreciated!

Felony

What's the name of your band? What's the origin of that name? Have you changed the band's name before?

Our band's name is Felony. I'm not entirely sure of its origin, but I know it took a while to come up with. We thought about names for a long time, but nothing clicked until one day the word came to me and I loved it.

What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences?

If I had to choose one, it would be rock. 'Melodic grunge rock' is how we describe ourselves usually. Major influences include The Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana.

How long have you all known each other? How did you meet?

I'm the only remaining member of the original line-up. Danny joined in late 2011 and Sam in summer 2012. We all first met at college.

When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together?

2010. Me and another friend, Nick, formed as a two-piece. I liked the idea of the simplicity, but after a few months realised the extra possibilities with bass were too attractive.

Do you have a record label? Are you a member of any music organizations?

No.

Where have you performed? Do you have any upcoming shows?

We've supported a few bands we like personally, like Nine Black Alps. We love getting to do that, as well as the summer festivals in our hometown of Hull. Last year, we also performed at Galtres Festival which was brilliant.

Which songs do you perform most frequently? Do you ever play any covers? Do you have a set play list?

Yes we do, but we change it every few months. We usually close our set with a heavy version of The Beatles' Come Together.

Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs? Do you think these topics will change over time?

It has usually been down to me to write the songs, but in the last year or so, Sam has been able to add his own songs to the mix. I suppose that's brought about a bit of friendly competition which has probably helped improve the output.

Could you briefly describe the music-making process? (What job roles each member has in making the music).

Sam and I tend to take a finished or half-completed song to a rehearsal and show it to Danny. The three of us will then work out the best structure and add any nuances.

What are your rehearsals generally like? Do you have a set time each week in which you practice or are rehearsals more spontaneous?

They're not 'spontaneous', they're booked well beforehand. But we do not have time set aside each week in which we always practice.

How has your music evolved since you first began playing music together?

The lyrics make sense.

What has been your biggest challenge as a band?

I've recently moved two hours north to Newcastle. We are managing to continue working together quite well so far.

THANK YOU!

Novana

Hi Sam.

The name of our band is Novana. We are a tribute to Grunge legends, "Nirvana" and we chose our name because we don't have our own van. it has stuck since the beginning in 2010.

Our music is obviously grunge and we do our best to play as many varied Nirvana songs as we can fit into 90 minute sets. We aim to replicate Nirvanas live sets with all of the energy and atmosphere that we can create, not some polished versions of their album recordings. Rob and myself (James) met around 2007 while we were both in separate bands on the local scene. A mutual appreciation of music as a whole but particularly grunge brought us together in the end. Sam was introduced to us by a mutual friend and we thought he would be the perfect third member of the group.

The band started in late 2010 with the aim of bringing a better tribute to Nirvana than had previously been done, and we quickly began collecting testimonials from die hard Nirvana fans as well as venues and promoters across the country. We are all big Nirvana fans ourselves, so we aim to please true fans by giving what we think the real Nirvana would give. Although I (James) do talk a little too much during sets!

Being a tribute band, we aren't signed to any labels or agencies. We just do all the work ourselves and feel much better for it!

To date we have played amazing venues such as the O2 Academies across the country, Central Station in Wrexham is a fantastic place, 53 Degrees in Preston and festivals such as Stormin' The Castle in Durham. We also play fairly regularly in Stockton at either KU Bar or Georgian Theatre. We love KU! coming up, funnily enough, we're at KU on 22nd March, Camden Jazz Cafe on 3rd April, Bristols The Fleece on 4th April, Yorks The Duchess on 5th April and then the 02 Academies in Birmingham on 11th April, Liverpool on 17th April and finally Sheffield on 25th April! We can't wait!

We tend to mix and match our set list depending on where we're playing, what type of venue it is and what type of night we feel it could be. All of Nirvana's hits will usually be played, but the set around those songs will be a complete mix up of b-sides and rarities to try to accommodate for all Nirvana fans.

Obviously Nirvana wrote these songs 20 and 30 something years ago but even for today's youth, the lyrics and meanings of each song are still as poignant as they ever were. Nirvana's songs will live on for a long time if not forever but this is why we do what we do. To promote these songs and the music to people that are too young to remember or who may never have had a chance to hear the original band.

Between the three of us being in many different bands, it became hard for us to rehearse regularly so now if we want to play a song that we may not have played in a while, we basically listen to the songs at home and just thrash them out on the night. We may not be the most talented of musicians but we are certainly tight enough and capable of hitting out songs that are so good, they're hard to forget.

Since we started, we've played that many gigs together and we play for so long that it was always going to be easy to be tight. We love playing together and we are all great friends out side of the band so it was straight forward for us to develop the connection we have when we play together.

As a tribute band, the hardest thing for us to do was to nail the right sound. Nirvana were made up of three people that had a great understanding of each other and were all amazing musicians in their own way. Dave Grohl could destroy the kit by playing so hard and fast, Krist picked out some awesome melodies on his bass and Kurt had his own way of playing his guitar, not to mention his blood curdling screaming, full of angst and pain. Add all that together and you're going to be criticised ruthlessly for trying to copy it!

Our ultimate goal is just to keep going, playing more gigs and hopefully presenting people with an opportunity to hear and see a live gig by a band that they already know and love.

If someone wanted advice from us about starting a band, I think the only good advice is to make sure the reason you're doing it is for the music and enjoyment of performing and make sure you're friends otherwise you're going to end up enemies pretty quickly!

We'd like to thank Matt Reeves for his original taking part in the group, Pat and Jody for helping us get started, and Grumpy Pete Till for being our Tour Manager, guitar tech and driver for so long. Also, we'd like to thank every promoter that has asked us to play in the past. It's nice to meet so many new people and it is largely down to these guys. Plus Jukebox Jimmy. Just cos! And we wouldn't have any work if wasn't for all of Nirvana's true fans! Thank you all for your comments and praise over the years. We hope to do you all justice! We love you all and we'll see you all as soon as we can!

THANK YOU!

Hope this is ok for you Sam! cheers

Band Pages In Magazines

I've looked at various spreads online when searching for music band spreads. This is one I came across which I liked the look of because of the way an image of the artist is placed on a whole page with blank black space around it to give it more emphasis. The little extract of text accompanies the subject making the quote more relevant and informative to the viewer. I always thought to be informative there must be a lot of text however this spread shows how the spread can be informative through three simple columns.

Magazine Research 26

Band Pages In Magazines

This band's spread helped when I was struggling to envision how I'd like the local bands page spreads to look. As I've decided to go for an interview approach and have created quite a few questions to ask, I suspect that the response would be quite large. Therefore I wasn't sure how I'd fit all the information from each band into each doubles page spread. This image allowed me to realise that not a lot of information is required as the picture would be a big enough visual statement.

Magazine Research 25

Band Pages In Magazines

When I saw this spread I thought it looked quite creative and playful. The use of the text almost contouring the band members give a casual approach. The way in which the font changes sizes through subheadings, titles and quotes adds to the playful approach. I thought despite the spread being a traditional black and white spread but being inverted so that the black was the background and the white was the text worked well for the band as they must follow a rock type genre so they're style/genre is well presented.

'Silence of the Lamns' director Jonathan Demme is selling extensive art collection in Pa.

STARTRIBUNE MOVIES

A riot of color greeted Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme the first time he walked into Haitian Corner, an art gallery around the corner from his Manhattan apartment. Instantly transfixed, he left with a $250 painting by Haitian master Wilson Bigaud. The seed was planted.

Demme's appreciation for work by self-taught Haitian painters like Bigaud and Hector Hyppolite flowered into an obsession that he fed with multiple trips to the cash poor but artistically rich island nation, where he learned Creole and shot two documentaries.

"If you're falling in love with a country, falling in love with their art is a great lubricant and a great elixir," Demme said. "Haitian art led me to Haiti for the first time, and I discovered a great country and a great people, and the art takes on a greater meaning for me now."

Now 70 and having spent the better part of three decades amassing pieces from Haiti and other Caribbean countries as well as the United States, South America and Africa, the director of "The Silence of the Lambs" said he's looking to "streamline and simplify" his life by selling 90 percent of his well-regarded collection of self-taught or "outsider" art.

More than 900 pieces — many of them by artists with little or no formal training but abundant talent — will be auctioned at Philadelphia's Material Culture on March 29-30. The sale will be preceded by a weeklong exhibition that is free and open to the public.

"He really has followed his eye and his heart in putting this collection together," said George Jevremovic, Material Culture's owner. "A lot of high-profile folks get advisers and they spend tons of money on works that may end up at Christie's or Sotheby's, million-dollar artwork."

Demme, on the other hand, was drawn to self-taught art "on a personal level and that's the way the best collections are created, where the eye and the intellect of the collector find their own ground," Jevremovic said.

The director traces his love of artists who taught themselves how to paint and sculpt to a childhood spent watching his mother sketch landscapes.

"Anybody can go to college and learn to paint academically," Demme said. "I certainly love fine art; I don't reject it. I love to go to museums. But there's something about that sincere work, trying to capture a feeling in an image, that just turns me on."

Demme, whose collection includes many pieces produced at the Centre d'Art, the landmark Port-au-Prince art cooperative destroyed in the 2010 earthquake, said he plans to donate a portion of the proceeds to the rebuilding effort. The auction is expected to bring in $1 million to $1.4 million.

Demme is OK with letting go of his treasures, comparing himself to a parent sending his kids to college.

"You're going to miss having them around, but they are making the right journey. This work is leaving storage and my walls and going out to find new homes."

The Silence Of The Lambs

WIKI

The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American thriller film that blends elements of the crime and horror genres. Directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, and Scott Glenn, the film is based on Thomas Harris' 1988 novel of the same name, his second to feature Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer.

In the film, Clarice Starling, a young U.S. FBI trainee, seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Lecter to apprehend another serial killer, known only as "Buffalo Bill".

The Silence of the Lambs was released on February 14, 1991, and grossed $272.7 million worldwide against its $19 million budget. It was only the third film, the other two being It Happened One Night and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, to win Academy Awards in all the top five categories: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay). It is also the first Best Picture winner widely considered to be a horror film, and only the second such film to be nominated in the category, after The Exorcist in 1973. The film is considered "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant by the U.S. Library of Congress and was selected to be preserved in the National Film Registry in 2011.

Astrology Horoscope

SUSANA PARADA

These are great images which have a cute appeal towards them. The little Russian doll like images are great to look at with colours that work well together and compliment the entire piece. Susana's images are completely different compared to the other examples I had looked at previous. To me her style looks almost simplistic cartoon like but also sophisticated. The amount of detail looks very intricate but actually is quite simple when taking a closer look and the use of the same background brings the separate designs together to form as one. Overall I'm very fond of Susana's work as the style is rather subtle but still very appealing.

BILLY LEUNG

This image came across striking because of its intricate style and colour palette which I thought looked very sophisticated and modern. Although I'm not in charge of and have not been designated the role to create the horoscopes spread, I would consider creating my images in an intricate and detailed way with a sophisticated touch similar to the image.

America's Next Top Model

This is an episode I've seen myself a few years ago. I've witnessed the amount of time and effort that goes into the costumes, hair and make up of the models as well as the pressure they have to create the perfect pose. To create a horoscope based page through the use of dressing up models would be a long process but would result in a strong and aesthetically pleasing page.

Magazine Research 19

UNKNOWN ARTIST

Although this image doesn't focus on the stereotypical way of representing astro signs and look more towards the alignment of stars and a more fortune telling approach to horoscopes, this has given me the idea that astro signs or images that are relevant to each star sign can be projected onto an individual face to create characteristic as to which star sign they belong to. This image comes across as a strong image due to the colour scheme which different shades coming together as different elements, such as the darker colour for the background, medium shade for the face and lighter colour for the alignment of stars.

Get The Gloss: Horoscope

SUSANNAH TAYLOR

These are some great and very colourful designs that link together with the use of a vine filled with leaves element. The use of bright colours against a white background with some designs actually have a second colour to act a background make the images look attention seeking and creative. These images almost look like silkscreen creations when viewing in a small format however when looking closer at each individual image, a softness can be detected which leaves me curious as to what materials could have been used to create these. I think this way of representing the astro signs with images similar to typical star signs images is a good theme to stick to. The creator can stay safe and create images similar to those that already exist but add their own unique style and twist to produce their very own representations of the star signs.

Magazine Research 17

UNKNOWN ARTIST

This image was one that I was attracted to as soon as I saw it. It's cute and comical cartoon style works well to portray the astro signs. Each character is shown to be in a different situation that relates to the star sign and its characteristics. The way in which the characters step out of the circle that they've been placed in makes each image come together to the others around it and also infuse with the background. The colours on each character suites the character and the situation with a starry background to cleverly bring all the star signs together.

Magazine Research 16

UNKNOWN ARTIST

These are some images I discovered when simply searching 'horoscopes' on Google. The images grabbed my attention straight away because of the amount of colour and detail and again the use of women like some of the other artists I've been looking at. The colours work well together almost like each colour compliments the next and the drawing elements themselves are very effective and creative. All three images present the different astro signs well however they would come across slightly unclear to those who don't know about the signs as much as others.

ALTERTAIPEI

Altertaipei appears to be a Mexican designer with a passion for art. This is similar to Sandra Suy's work due to the theme of using women in a simplistic form to represent the horoscopes. The picture gave me the idea of creating simple but effective images for the horoscope section in our magazine.

Magazine Research 14

Elle Horoscope

SANDRA SUY

I thought these designs were almost advertisement looking type of images. Most magazines do show some form of advertisement therefore I thought I could produce some designs which were created for the horoscopes spread but also presented a bit of advertising in them too. Presenting horoscopes through clothing, body art, jewellery, dancing, acting, etc could be a way to present the different aspects of hull. Such as a tattooed horoscope to represent a certain tattoo shop, or a horoscope on clothing to represent the local clothing business.
