Unmoved

I noticed that media started to pay more and more attention to transgender culture. Think about transgender model Loiza winning Holland’s next top model, Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox in Orange is the new black. But I also noticed a lack of understanding in the media for this subject. I wanted to change this, starting with printed media. In every shop in the Netherlands where magazines are sold, I noticed three categories: men, women and children. There was no place for a transgender themed magazine, thus  I created one myself. I held interviews with transgender men and women, took photo’s and dived into transgender culture and collected as much up to date information and news as possible to create Unmoved. As a counterpart to the overly used male and female symbol and many, many specific transgender symbols, I used the symbol for earth (circle with a sum), basically stating we’re all earthlings.
