This analysis book is all about the infamous independent magazine 032c which is directed by Joerg Koch and designed by Mike Meirè.
032c is well known for its unconventional way of design:
For short: It is pretty extra in all its aspects. Never shy to try new things or present its content in a controversial non-traditional way.
Imitating its stylistic devices and using them in its own way, this book describes important elements like imagery, use of typography and language. So this analyzing book follows the principles of 032c by deliberately breaking certain rules of traditional design and imitating 032c magazine in style.
To get a better overall understanding of 032c and its style as well as its target audience, this book also deals with 032c's history and the philosophy of its creators.
This magazine analysis book plays an important role for my understanding of how magazines and specifically 032c works.
It is notable that the bigger project of our own [blnk] magazine is created with the help on the newly gained knowledge about 032c.
This analysis book was created in a team of three with Celina Hofmann and Michaela Kappes.
