ARTIST STATEMENT

The purpose of my project is to inform people of the beauty of my home country of Trinidad. I wanted to provide a digital tour of Trinidad and have the essence of the country speak for itself  The best way to understand a country and the premise of their identity is through the land, people, and culture. In order to accomplish my purpose, I created three magazines that would allow others to Experience Trinidad virtually.

Each of the three magazines reflect a category, with loads of imagery and plenty of dialogue to understand what is happening in each moment. Each magazine's cover follows a similar design to tie each category together because collectively they represent Trinidad. The use of cool colors, funky typeface, and photo-focused layouts is intended to elude to the tropical warmth of the ISLAND, the jubilant spirit of the PEOPLE, and the larger than life CULTURE that makes Trinidad a country that must be experienced.
