Behind the Branding: More Magazine

An insight into the More Magazine development, visual identity and Inspirations

More Magazine is an Irish Publication honouring Camp as a form of Q***r Political Expression. It is a safe space for the Q***r Irish community in the UK. The magazine offers a platform for creative and political expression whilst highlighting the nuances of navigating identity away from home.

Introducing More Magazine: a publication proposal that translates Moe Meyer’s ‘The Politics and Poetics of Camp’ into a visual outcome by honouring Camp as an inherently political and Q***r form of expression.

Designed as a safe space for the Q***r Irish community in the UK, the magazine offers a platform for creative and political expression while highlighting the nuances of navigating identity away from home. Evolving from the concept “More Camp, More Gay, More Irish,” the title More Magazine reflects its commitment to Q***r voices, providing contributors with an authentic space for politically aligned creative work.
