FRAME LINES MAGAZINE

Frame Lines was launched in September 2007, and is an independent publishing venture based in Melbourne, Australia. Frame Lines is a unique magazine, offering a new perspective and flavour on life. The magazine tunes into the alternative, creative culture, presenting a mix of art, design, poetry and fiction, lifestyle, environment, current affairs, music, surf, skate and street features. We are dedicated to enlivening the senses, stimulating the mind, and provoking discussion about diversity in the world in which we live

We partner with organizations that not only share our core values, ethics and aims who are dedicated to and want to celebrate diversity; importantly work with us to generate positive change in which we conduct our business transactions.

It’s not just the magazine that we lovingly craft. By combining the Frame Lines team’s design, writing know-how, communication expertise, and excellent contacts, we have developed an all-encompassing collection of people and skills deliver work to a range of clients

Publishing the magazine for the last few years means that we are in touch with an incredible network of writers, photographers, illustrators, graphic designers, web developers, and printers, designers, 3D designers, filmmakers, musicians, artists, fashion designers and so on. If you have something that needs doing, we can put you in touch with the right person to do it – or, even better, come and meet you in person to discuss your needs and establish the best way forward.

SARAH NOLAN

FOUNDER &
CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Sarah is the founder of Frame Lines, and Creative and Managing Director. Sarah founded Frame Lines in September 2007 when she discovered that there was a need for a magazine which artists didn't have to compete for exposure, and that could be free. A magazine which would form a non profit organization, so that it could support and showcase artists from around the world - and then with the sponsorship raised give back to those less fortunate - a world of sharing and celebrating diversity.

Sarah resides in Melbourne, and has background in Marketing Management and Graphic Design. Sarah is responsible for the creative direction of each issue, liaises with contributors, artists and writers, illustrators, photographers and designers from all over the world, constructs the Frame Lines magazine, manages and designs the web site and generally does whatever is needed to keep the business running. In her spare time, when and if she has any Sarah is completing her Masters in Graphic Design, and can be found most weekends surfing. Sarah is driven from the energy of life, the randomness, coincidences, people and love that come into her life from family and friends. She is probably best known for seeing 11:11, and her love for the ocean.

NICK KIND
WHAT WE SEE - FL PHOTOGRAPHER

Nick Kind is the Frame Lines photographer and is responsible for those amazing images you see in the Frame Lines "what we see section" of frame Lines. Nick Joined Frame Lines in September 2008, and as well as being a guru in photography he is also the Frame Lines web guru.

"As a photographer, I believe in the power of the image as a form of communication; a visual expression of that which words cannot articulate.With a Graphic Design background, I discovered a passion for the photographic image through an exploration of the creative post-production process. This led me to experiment with different ways of creating images using the camera itself as a tool. I have found that a merging of both means of image creation is the only way to realize my photographic visions. Experimentation is the inspiration for my work. I have learned to hone in on an idea and explore its variations, developing a themed collection of images. These studies invite the viewer to draw their own narrative from both the individual photographs and the body of work as one entity. During 2005/2006 I developed and taught a short course called "Digital Photography & Image Processing" at Leicester University, UK. This experience encouraged me to look within my working processes, essentially fine-tuning my skills and providing an excellent platform to share and develop these skills with other artists.Nick is based in Melbourne Australia, and we are delighted to have him as a member of the Frame Lines team.

LORRAINE BERRY

WRITER and LITERATURE REVIEWER

Lorraine Berry is the Frames Lines literary expert and joined the team in March 2008. She was born in England, emigrated to the United States as a tot, and traveled extensively with her parents before they settled in the Seattle area. She attended the University of Washington, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in “Comparative History of Ideas” and a Master’s in History, before she and her then husband struck out for the East coast for her to attend Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.

Lorraine received a second Master’s in history there, but mid-way through her dissertation on Franciscan Observant preaching and witch trials in Quattrocen to Italy, decided it would be a good idea to do something else. That something else was to write. For three years she wrote sports articles for athletic magazines before finding a job as the Project Director for a student-written, student-designed magazine at SUNY Scotland called NeoVox. There she’s stayed, although during that time she has written one novel, which sits in a drawer, and is finishing up a memoir, which she hopes will be published. Lorraine conducts the amazing literary review you see in each edition of the Frame Lines magazine! Oh, and if the weather is half-way decent, you can find her on a trail somewhere, hiking and looking for the goddess.
