Asian Americans making their mark on entertainment.
Many Asian Americans feel underrepresented with Mainstream American Media. We often feel overlooked, and shunned when it comes to representation. It’s important for youth to see singers, performers and entertainers that look like them because if they can see it, they can be it. Having strong and inspiring Asian-American musicians, artists and actors because it inspires young Asian-Americans to pursue more creative avenues.
The idea for this All Asian-American Platform turned into WATCHUS Magazine. The name comes from the idea that if “someone see its, they can be it.”
The magazine follows a normal minimalist magazine style. But it has aspects of graffiti, tagging or sketching on a notebook page that harshly contrasts the clean magazine Aesthetic. This is to show the bit of rebellion that’s present in youth.
Each issue of WATCHUS Magazine will have three features that all display a different kind of style depending on who that artist is. But regardless of what kind of feature it is, it will always have a kind of sketchy, drawn-on elements contrasting the minimal magazine aesthetic.
Not just artists, musicians and actors, but the magazine also aims to support and highlight Asian owned businesses.
