visuallyverbose: CIO: Akademische Mitteilungen

A well-designed student publications magazine based out of Germany. The pages are lined with unique designs that are influenced by many of the eras that were read about in the class textbook. I like how they are willing to be edgy and take things to a whole new level. Many of the pages are lined with immense space but with a central design attribute (text, photo, etc.)

Take a look for yourself.

I like this one. The text isn't overbearing to read. It's placed in a unique spot on the spot plus the text stands out because of the certain areas that are highlighted with a bright color. Instead of the color being obnoxious, it actually makes the spread look very appealing to the eye. I like the font but I wonder if it really portrays what the story is about. According to Jandos Rothstein, the writing once translated is horrible. Apparently, the publication provides the English translation in their magazine.

I like the use of thick black strokes and the blocked out type. But again this font makes me wonder if it actually reflects what the story is about. Hm.

Again, I like the use of lines in this spread. I also like the messy illustration and how it leads the reader right into the story. I think that this is a very unique spread and not one that you see very often.

Here are a few of the other spreads that are featured:
