About Afterimages Magasin

Det grafiske designkonseptet og den visuelle kommunikasjonen for kunstmagasinet Afterimages er sammenhengende: fra logo, identitet til layout. Hovedmålet med prosjektet var å ta tak i arven fra Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts i Lodz og lage en moderne versjon av den som stammer fra avantgardetradisjonen. Papir av grov kvalitet, tørrstemplingsteknikk, trykkfargen (Pantone) på omslaget tilsvarer emnet for hvert nummer. Magasinet er rikt illustrert, fylt med kvalitetsbilder, og minner i så måte om livsstilsmagasinet.

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.
