Dear Readers, Dreaming of something new is the first step. Acting upon a dream with the first creative design is the next. And then sharing your work with the world finalizes the process. These steps are so easy to say and write, and so much harder to do. The designers, artists, and musicians within these pages have done just that, and we at Graffiti Beach aim to support the bravery, inspiration, and dreams of these Creatives and share them with the world. The goals of our magazine are two-fold. 1) We believe in the artists that we feature, and we believe in their success. We want to support these Creatives in the advancement of their careers by celebrating them in this step of the process 2) We are inspired by true creativity. We love to see new and interesting ways of doing things and we love to see designs that are eco-friendly and attempt to make new from old. If knowledge is power then we hope that the knowledge of their work will empower them to create more, and in turn inspire creativity within others. Just like Pinterest exposes the viewer to ideas that they might never have seen, and Facebook connects you with others, our intent is for this magazine to reveal, highlight and celebrate talent that you might never have known. We aspire to cultivate creativity by sharing what is unique and trendsetting within the worlds of art, music and fashion - in the hopes of inspiring you! When we surround ourselves with creativity, and experience the energy of people following their dreams despite the odds against them, our world becomes so much more vibrant and beautiful. Get inspired!
