About Afterimages Revista

El concepte de disseny gràfic i la comunicació visual de la revista d'art Afterimages és coherent: des del logotip, la identitat fins a la maquetació. L'objectiu principal del projecte era abordar el llegat de l'Acadèmia de Belles Arts Strzeminski de Lodz i crear-ne una versió moderna que neixi de la tradició avantguardista. Paper de qualitat rugosa, tècnica d'estampació en sec, el color d'impressió (Pantone) aplicat a la portada, correspon al tema de cada número. La revista està ricament il·lustrada, plena de fotografies de qualitat i, en aquest sentit, s'assembla a una revista d'estil de vida.

This image is not as obvious as it seems at first glance. It is blurred and not clear.
