La Terrasse
Joe Muldoon
La Terrasse is an independent magazine aimed primarily at
football fans travelling to matches up and down Britain and
across Europe. Its main aim is to ‘gentrify’ the existence of
travelling football fans, rebranding the infamous preconceptions
of the subculture surrounding British and European football
by combining current affairs with art, fashion and travel.
The use of the
painting as the front cover promotes
creativity whilst simultaneously invoking a
sense of
nostalgia through a celebration of previous footballing
eras. It also
suggests a more sophisticated publication.
David Diehl’s ‘Icon’ collection, from which the painting comes,
could through time be utilised as a recurring feature in the
magazine, epitomising the synergy between art and football
culture that is typical of independent magazines of this type.
