i-D Magazine
The world we live in today is wrought with controversy and drastic changes due to our ever-evolving lifestyle. The Internet and social media have had a revolutionary impact on the way we interact, socialize, and even think about the world around us. Even though this technologically induced society we live in is thriving with a plethora of knowledge, society has become even more self-centered. The Speak Up Issue of i-D strives to bring awareness to social, ethical, political, and caring causes. This publication was created as a project for a Current Trends and Forecasting class at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This is a recreation of a i-D magazine and is not an official i-D publication.

i-D Artist To Watch<br />
conglomerate<br />
photographer weston doty/styling weston doty<br />
WESTON DOTY IS A 21-YEAR-OLD GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY STUDENT AT THE<br />
SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN FROM SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA. HE’S INTER-<br />
ESTED IN COMBINING, PHOTOGRAPHY, DRAWING, PAINTING, AND MUCH MORE IN HIS WORK.<br />
He is influenced through a balanced mixture<br />
of many ideas and concepts, and explains how<br />
he is always evolving the more he learns, explores,<br />
and experiments. A major inspiration for<br />
Weston comes from ideas behind the supremacist<br />
movement: how art is a pure expression<br />
of feeling. Nevertheless always giving a minimalism<br />
aspect. Constantly impressed by someone’s<br />
ability to capture simplicity in such a busy<br />
world. Finding himself reducing as much clutter<br />
on the page as possible to create visually compelling<br />
imagery. This way of working gives him<br />
a therapeutic energy, which makes him feel in<br />
control and consistency with his work. He creates<br />
a strong reaction from music, art, and color.<br />
The collection that we are showing is called<br />
Conglomerate, which was an exploration in<br />
color combinations and distorting imagery. Exploring<br />
different shapes and colors inspired by<br />
80’s and 90’s fashion and design. He captures<br />
a sort of iconic imagery while subtracting from<br />
them and blending them with color in order<br />
to form these arrangements of deconstructed<br />
models, clothes, and pure hues.<br />
TEXT ELIZABETH ROSE<br />
As far as his dream job goes, he aspires to work<br />
in art direction, being able to utilize both his<br />
design and photography skills. Surrounded by a<br />
work field that’s artistic yet practical.<br />
