Acclaim magazine<\/h1>\n

In 2006 and 2007 I was in charge of the Art direction of Acclaim magazine in Australia.<\/h2>\n

\"fashion<\/p>\n

a magazine about street cultures <\/h3>\n

From November 2006 to July 2007 I was living in Sydney where I took the Art Direction of the Australian & New Zealander street lifestyle magazine called ACCLAIM<\/a>.<\/strong>
\nThey hired me to give the title a new visual orientation.
\nBefore I worked in Australia, Acclaim was a street fanzine turned into a rap magazine.
\nThe publication had a lot of followers but the audience was mostly restricted to hip-hop heads.
\nThe founders hired my friend Pierre as the new editor-in chief. They chose me to take control of the visual department.
\nThe idea was to explore new fields and to expand the editorial and visual contents of the publication.
\nIt felt like working on a new title and the founder gave us a total freedom to turn the rap magazine into a successful lifestyle publication.<\/p>\n

A new direction <\/h3>\n

We transformed the mag and turned it into what became the most successful lifestyle publication in Australia and New Zealand. <\/strong>
\nAcclaim magazine quickly became the entertaining alternative for those interested in street lifestyle and contemporary culture.
\nWe covered new fields such as urban musics, fashion, clothes, extreme sports or cars. We also talked about toys, street art, video games, books, sex, and anything linked to the street cultures.
\nWe also used this space of expression to publish in-depth articles on serious topics. We wrote articles about racism in Australia, the history of gang culture in the US<\/a>, or an analysis of the crisis in Darfur.<\/p>\n

A great experience <\/a><\/h3>\n

Working as an art director for Acclaim magazine was a great experience.<\/strong>
\nThe publisher trusted my visual skills and I was free to feature my favorite illustrators and photographers.
\nI worked with talents such as Jon Burgerman<\/a>, Mike Giant<\/a> or Rose Hardy<\/a>.
\nAfter a year of hard work I felt that I completed the job they hired me for. I left the publication and remained close friends with the owner.
\nDuring 2 years after my departure I still worked freelance for the magazine and was in charge of a section dedicated to visual arts.
\nMore recently Andrew Montell (the owner) invited to exhibit my artworks in Federation Square<\/a> in Melbourne as part of an event he organized.<\/p>\n
