New Norm Magazine Issue 2 is available now from LOREM (not Ipsum). The second issue was shaped around the concept of “change”, by introducing a design element in our publication. We interview Mark Anthony Fox, Page Hotels, Noah & Grey, Building Narrative and Laurie Poast Atelier to learn about the creative process behind the vision and development of their brand. We explore the city of Tokyo and Kyoto, where we take our readers on a journey around the historical city, taking them through a series of ancient temples, architecture, and streets. In this issue, we also worked with a community of photographers, writers, artists and locals from different parts of the world, featuring a tour around the whimsical villages and enchanting fjords in Faroe Islands, memorizing mosques in Iran, an adventure around the quaint seaside resort of Sankt Peter Ording, a look into the future of downtown Seattle and the legacy of neon signboards in Hong Kong.
The New Norm Magazine is an online journal and annual publication dedicated to exploring and documenting our adventures. Our passion for photography and writing has pushed this publication forward, hoping to connect our readers with the rest of the world through our observations, stories, and photographs. We used four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter to create four different series covering themes of art, culture, design, and travel. We also visit different places according to the four seasons to experience local cultures and to share them within the magazine. This issue takes us to Budapest, Malta, Cyprus, Sweden, Iceland, and the UK.
