OUGD502 Studio Brief 1 | Street Dreams Contact

I really wanted to base my report on Street Dreams as the photographers that created the publication are some of my favourites and also the magazine itself is brilliant. 

I emailed the Street Dreams email first to see if I got any response, which I didn't"

Hi, my name is Dan Hart-Davies and I’m a second year graphic design student at Leeds College of Art in the UK. We’ve been assigned the task of conducting an interview with an individual or collective within the design industry that inspires us and our work. Being a huge fan of Street Dreams my first choice was obviously you guys, as this would give me great insight as an aspiring photographer and/or editorial designer as well as making my task of writing an essay much more interesting. 
If you would be happy answering a few questions I will send a follow-up email with them included. 

Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon,

Dan

Then I thought of emailing the two creators of the magazine - Steve Irby (@stevesweatpants)  and Eric Veloso :

When I didn't hear anything abck from then I took to Instagram where I direct messaged the both of them. I did this because Street Dreams is an Instagram-based magazine, and they are both very active on the platform. 

I didn't hear anything back from them so I thought it was over and if Ihadn't heard from them by now they weren't going to get back to me, but 10 days later Eric Veloso did. 

Unfortunately, as of the day before submission he still hasn't gotten back to me or replied to my email containing the questions but if he does I will be sure to carry on the contact even though the module has finished as it would be a great contact to have.
