About Afterimages Aikakauslehti

Afterimages-taidelehden graafisen suunnittelun konsepti ja visuaalinen viestintä on johdonmukaista: logosta, identiteetistä ulkoasuun. Hankkeen päätavoitteena oli käsitellä Lodzissa sijaitsevan Strzeminskin kuvataideakatemian perintöä ja luoda siitä moderni versio, joka juontaa juurensa avantgarde-perinteestä. Karkealaatuinen paperi, kuivaleimaustekniikka, kanteen painoväri (Pantone) vastaa kunkin numeron aihetta. Lehti on runsaasti kuvitettu, täynnä laadukkaita kuvia ja muistuttaa tältä osin elämäntapalehteä.

Design Challenge
The challenge was to create a design of the magazine, on the one hand, referring to the avant-garde tradition, and on the other, creating its modern, fresh version. It was a challenge to reach interested recipients, create a platform and a community around the magazine and create a magazine with premium design, content and paper on a limited budget and with a small team.
Research
The artistic and scientific, thematic magazine Powidoki (Afterimages) is published by the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz (Poland). The periodical is devoted to significant artistic and scientific events. It contains critical texts about art and design as well as interviews with prominent figures of the world of culture and higher education from Poland and abroad.
Inspiration
The inspiration of the project was the heritage of the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts Lodz and their great artists: Strzeminski, Kobro, Hiller, the avangarde, which was established over one hundred years ago. An afterimage is an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image. Our brain produces it when we stare at something for a long time. This image is not as obvious as it seems at first glance. It is blurred and not clear.
Project Duration
The first issue of the magazine was created and published in 2019. By mid-2021 it has been published five issues of 'Afterimages' (two issues per year). Place of the creation of the magazine: Lodz, Poland.
Operation Flow
Interaction with the magazine: high quality print and paper, stamping can be felt under your finger, qr codes.
