SHIFT: A COSPLAY MAGAZINE
A craft magazine centered around cosplay
Shift is a concept for a magazine that seeks to introduce new people to the hobby of cosplay. The magazine would be filled with information to help people get started cosplaying, going to conventions to meet other people with similar interests, and providing tutorials so they are able to learn new skills.
So why cosplay?
Cosplay is a hobby that involves dressing up as characters that people feel connected to in some way. The act of dressing up can help people explore the parts of themselves that they see reflected in these characters or allow them to adopt the qualities they wish they had.

The creation of cosplay usually involves the learning of a variety of skills in many different areas. People learn to do makeup, style their hair, pose for photos, sew clothing, and make props. The learning of these skills can help people find hobbies and passions that they might not have explored otherwise.
Additionally cosply provides a social aspect as well, allowing people to meet those with shared interests and form bonds and communities. As cosplay grows in popularity it is important to have resources available for people who are interested and have them in forms that are easy to access and understand.
That is where the magazine comes in.
