wry magazine

Wry is a monthly publication that celebrates audacious creative placemaking concepts and cultures. Wry (Rahy) brings the globe’s new “Creative Placemaking Renaissance” story.

Defiantly, this magazine scoffs at any of society‘s views that consider any community to be a wasteland. This unique magazine has a tabletop book feel with content that takes its readers on location through each volume. The periodical’s masthead reflects a dynamic, bold form with the right balance of radical simplicity and abstraction. Wry’s voice is a bold expression of countercultural ideas contrary to high society’s dominant values, behavior, and expectations.

The Wry tabletop magazine idea journals my 2016 excursion in Miami, Florida’s Wynwood District. As an artist and admirer of street art abstractions, I became deeply enthused with producing this tabletop book in the form of a high-end magazine as my final project for Visualizing Language during my junior year at UArts.

Wry passionately honors the devoted contributing artisans, visionaries, and partners through stories inspired by urban centers that have been reinvigorated by creativity, only to emerge as beautiful, alluring art meccas.

Wry is a keepsake that journals illustrative abstract expressions for readers to experience and share with fellow street art lovers. Wry is the source for exploring the creative placemaking frontier.
