'For the Creative and Curious'
Published quarterly, Uppercase is a joyful attempt to boost its readers' creativity. As Janine Vangool, the woman behind the mag explains, the publication is 'a playful exploration of creativity, an affinity for vintage ephemera, and a love of typography.'
In this issue, the team reminds us that creativity is very much a form of human self-expression, a quality certainly worth preserving:
‘Although the bright glow of algorithmic social media might sway us from time to time, and the novelty of new artificial intelligence tools might grab at our attention, it is always worth remembering that how we use our creative time and talents is up to us. It is through mental exertion combined with physical effort that art and crafts are made. The marks that we make are uniquely ours, made real through our own hands.’ A timely reminder indeed!
