ex Leek College art student Laura Allen launches Prototype magazine



An ex Leek College Foundation Diploma in Art & Design student has launced a fantastic magazine called 'Prototype'. Laura left leek College after studying on the Foundation Diploma in Art & design and went on to do Foundation Degree in Business and Marketing for Fashion at Stafford College.

'Eye-catchingly unique in shape, prototype magazine is a piece of artwork within itself which stands out on the shelf. Open its beautifully high-quality paper pages to reveal a playground of awe-inspiring artwork, bound together with love. We personally select the most dreamy photography, quirky illustrations, thoughtful words, and inspiring people to fill the pages of each themed issue. It is full to the brim of wanderlust, tales of triumph and handmade delights. 
 
prototype magazine is an independently run, home-grown magazine dedicated to helping to promote those practicing the creative arts, and for the reader offers a unique compilation of all which will inspire them. It is for the one who has creativity in their soul; the ones who have tamed it and the ones who want to explore it.
We are an arty magazine to help promote you, or to drink coffee to.

prototype magazine began as a college project, by a young girl inspired by beauty and the creativity that surrounded her. She wanted to capture it, and compile it into a piece of artwork – and so prototype magazine was born. A year on, prototype magazine has evolved, growing in its sophistication, quality and contents.
Each issue is created independently, bringing the most inspiring artwork together under a thoughtful theme. prototype magazine is not something to throw away when you’ve finished flicking through, it is something to save on your bookshelf, pass on to friends, reference, or place on your coffee table for all to see.  Passionate about print, we have selected the finest paper for the beautiful artwork featured to grace. Square in shape, this magazine will definitely catch your eye and is a piece of artwork within itself'.
