Social Issues | Pop Culture Magazine
In 1993, Voices of Hope Productions’ President, Lori Ersolmaz (then McDaniel) developed and helped launch an avant-garde European style creative arts magazine as Creative Director of the Creative Black Book. This unique commercial product promoted the ‘personal’ work of creative commercial artists and photographers, and was developed as a bold publication named PIQUE, the Portfolio of Personal Vision. The magazine was a tabloid format of 12” x 17” and was a folder-like package which held up to (8) 8-page folded signature inserts. Any page could be easily cut into individual posters for placement on the wall.
PIQUE’s name came from an interest in provoking artists into action and helping them to take risks with their work. Artists promoted images and commentary on social issues such as HIV/Aids, safe sex, movement against second slavery, gun control, and voting. Ersolmaz pushed the artists by example using the magazine to make her own socio-political statements and the magazines were well received by advertising agency creative staff where they were distributed throughout the US and Europe.
