Tourist Magazine
July 6, 2010 - By Danica van de Velde - Category: Art & Internet & Magazine & Photography
For me, the word “tourist” has always given a slightly negative impression: I immediately think of loud and obtrusive foreigners sporting knee-high socks and sandals with neon-coloured bum bags (I believe you call them fanny packs in the States) tightly wound around their waists, as they cart around expensive cameras they don’t know how to use and large maps they probably don’t know how to read. Not the most appealing of images, I admit.
Brushing aside these unpleasant associations, Tourist Magazine is a new and exciting online magazine based in the United Kingdom. With four issues under its publishing belt, the magazine showcases a heady mix of art, fashion, interviews, music and cultural features; all accompanied by intelligent writing and gorgeous imagery. In particular, there is a raw and unpretentious aesthetic to Tourist Magazine that I really appreciate. As someone who is not overly interested in reading about cosmetic procedures, tips on how to snag a man or the latest celebrity gossip – the standard fare for many magazines – it is refreshing to come across a magazine focused on collaborating with diverse creatives types in an inspiring and fresh way.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Oh Danica, I feel a girl crush coming up. I can always rely on you to come up with great write-ups!
Hey Danica, thanks for sharing. I totally agree with you about the negative impression the word gives. The mag’s photos are great, but the navigation of the site makes me crazy :) Anyways, thank you!
@Gisèle Thank you – I am delighted to read that you’re enjoying my posts!
@Kai I probably should have mentioned that the navigation of the site is a little slow and clunky. It made me slightly cuckoo too :)
