Your Biggest BANG
Your Biggest BANG magazine is based on the fact that ‘every ending is a new beginning’. The name ‘Bang’ derives directly from the original big bang, being planet earth. Focusing on this, the topic of upcycling became an issue. We noticed that the trend ‘upcycling’ is about to take our society by storm. We take recycling to a higher level and call it ‘The art of upcycling’. We use upcycling not only in an ecological way, but also through (ideas on) fashion, art and music. Approaching upcycling on a whole new and unique level, this makes Your Biggest BANG magazine far from your standard fashion and lifestyle magazine. A new beginning comes, even when you have finished reading. A circle of life.
Your biggest BANG is the first upcycling magazine in the Netherlands, which has a new approach on art/design, fashion and music with a clean and clear design, intriguing images and straightforward texts.
The story so far…
In the beginning there were seven different groups all with the same challenge to create a magazine that’s inspiring for young fashion creatives. The competition offers the chance for the winning magazine to be distributed around the Netherlands whilst representing AMFI. After nine weeks they were to be judged by six professionals; Liesbeth in ‘t Hout, Koos de Boer, Thierry Somers, Joep Becx, Martien Mellema, Peter van Rhoon.*
And the winner is… “Your Biggest BANG.”
From that moment “Your Biggest BANG” became a company powered by AMFI. Former competitors became colleagues and “Your Biggest BANG” was born.
This opportunity has given Young professionals a chance to shine and inspire other creatives with their work, generating challenging decisions with interviews, new and exciting articles and most certainly a new dimension of photo shoots. “Your Biggest BANG” wants to promote an original feeling, leaving brand awareness and captivating influence that others can feed on.
“Your Biggest BANG” has now created extensions alongside the magazine, in completion to the company, YBB has provided a website, a yearbook, a product line, a marketing department and a series of events, with one final launch experience to intrigue and spread the word of “Your Biggest BANG”
