INQ is nothing without the people..

There are a variety of creative and exciting ways to contribute to INQ magazine. We are offering designers and artists from around the world the opportunity to expose their work to over 100,000 people via our magazine and website.

 

Artists can contribute as much work as they desire to be considered as editorial features within the magazine. We frequently hold 'thINQ' events where we showcase our contributor’s creative work and launch the latest edition of INQ magazine. This is great for networking and exposing your talents, and artists are invited to perform within the crowd.

INQ Magazine: Urban Ganda
To complement our theme, we have Urban Ganda spread throughout the magazine. Urban Ganda are pieces of design that are theme related and raise the profile of issues and struggles that receive little exposure. Chosen designs are often thought provoking for the eye and mind.

 

In Edition 1 David Hernandez used the theme of ‘Revolution’ to highlight the cause of EZLN (Zapatista revolutionary army, Mexico) and in particular of Subcommandante Marcos, giving it his own fashionable design twist.

 

In Edition 2 Pavel Mamontov used the theme of ‘Faith and Capitalism’ to create stunning pieces highlighting the often unseen relationship between these two contexts.
