Andy Ryder
Andy is a graphic designer and illustrator with a drive for creativity and openness. His work is often the subject of an inquiry into the world around him; defying and subverting the status quo. He is a creative mind, in constant experiment mode, readily awaiting his next project.
“Arcadia Liverpool” is a free monthly magazine, driven by the celebration of sustainability within the city of Liverpool. With a mass media of guilt tripping, downtreading and discouraging - Arcadia Liverpool aims to be a beacon of positivity. Showcasing the hard work of others, pushing forward initiatives and creating climate joy. The magazine hopes to work within the broader initiative of encouraging eco-friendly practices and re-evaluating our broken relationship with nature. Within this, Arcadia hopes to encourage others to evoke promoted practices, get involved in community projects and push forward positive ideologies.
Each magazine is different, the manifestation of how Arcadia can be created is manifold. For the first three issues, I have created; a calendar, a comic, and a folded poster.
