Zine - Young Northern Creative Survival Guide

In the current economic climate as a young creative it seems impossible to make it in the industry. With free and low paid internships, the creative industry has a huge problem giving opportunities to the more socio-economically deprived which leaves the industry non-diverse. The social case for diversity is a matter of social justice, people having less chance to succeed for reasons beyond their control is inexcusable and unlawful.

The zine enables those classed as less likely to succeed to find the right path for them to end in their dream creative career or lifestyle. The zine aims to highlight what the North has to offer in an industry dominated by London-based practices, giving young Northern creatives advice, information, inspiration and words from young Northern creatives who are managing to survive.
