About Afterimages Rivista

Il concept del progetto grafico e della comunicazione visiva per rivista d'arte Afterimages è coerente: dal logo, all'identità, al layout. L'obiettivo principale del progetto era affrontare l'eredità dell'Accademia di Belle Arti Strzeminski di Lodz e crearne una versione moderna che deriva dalla tradizione d'avanguardia. Carta di qualità ruvida, tecnica di stampa a secco, il colore di stampa (Pantone) applicato alla copertina, corrisponde al tema di ogni fascicolo. La rivista è riccamente illustrata, piena di foto di qualità, e sotto questo aspetto assomiglia a una rivista di stile di vita.

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.
