The Design

About Afterimages Revija

Koncept grafičnega oblikovanja in vizualne komunikacije za umetniško revijo Afterimages je koherenten: od logotipa, identitete do postavitve. Glavni cilj projekta je bil spopasti se z zapuščino Akademije lepih umetnosti Strzeminski v Lodžu in ustvariti njeno sodobno različico, ki izhaja iz avantgardne tradicije. Kakovosten hrapav papir, tehnika suhega žigosanja, tiskovna barva (Pantone) na naslovnici ustreza tematiki posamezne številke. Revija je bogato ilustrirana, polna kvalitetnih fotografij in v tem pogledu spominja na life style revijo.

Dimensions & Packaging: 230 x 300 mm, about 250-300 pages
Tags: Art Magazine, Print Design, Graphic design, Cover Design, Publication, Visual communication
Production Technology: High quality offset print Pantone (cover) Cmyk (inside)
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.
