The Design

About Afterimages Magazin

D'Grafikkonzept an d'visuell Kommunikatioun fir den Afterimages Konschtmagazin ass kohärent: vum Logo, Identitéit bis zum Layout. D'Haaptziel vum Projet war et mat der Ierfschaft vun der Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts zu Lodz unzegoen an eng modern Versioun dovun ze kreéieren déi aus der avantgardistescher Traditioun staamt. Rau Qualitéit Pabeier, dréchen-Stamping Technik, Dréckerei Faarf (Pantone) op de Cover ugewandt, entsprécht dem Thema vun all Ausgab. D'Magazin ass räich illustréiert, mat Qualitéitsfotoen gefëllt, an an deem Sënn gläicht e Lifestyle Magazin.

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.
