The self-made magazine »Handjob« comes wrapped in plastic. It is more an art object than a journal, it is dedicated to the theme of masturbation. Josie Majetić had the idea of making a magazine about three years ago. She wanted an experimental space, and a product that would balance out her ordinary job as a graphic designer. But how do you speak about a topic you don’t normally speak about? Majetić tried advanced methods of public visualization, in order to present a very private subject. First, she asked friends and acquaintances. Hardly anyone wanted to answer her questions.

»Freunde von Freunden« was founded as an international online magazine in 2009. The title is indicative of its programme. Frederik Frede and his team tell stories about their friends. They focus on creative people, and present their views and attitudes in interviews. Meanwhile the online magazine has expanded with a network of freelancers working in more than fifty cities, and supplies the magazine, an app and the print version with stories.

Five ideas, four encounters, three leaders, two feuilletons plus one »icon« - that is Riposte, a smart magazine for women founded by Danielle Pender in 2012. Already as a teenager, Danielle Pender was bored by your typical print media and the negative image of women these conveyed.

Attention to detail. Maximum respect for the customer. Narrative density. These are the key points on which Christian Hanke builds his work for numerous clients from start-ups to publishers and major clients such as Red Bull. Different levels of narrative in text, image, video and sound leave the reader intrigued. To quote from a reader's comment on Hanke's work: »The presentation of news will never be the same, ›Snowfall‹ has set new standards for passionate storytelling, whether in aesthetics or emotional density«.

A »wanderer between the worlds« of graphic design, Patrick Waterhouse's drawings, prints, photographs and art books - such as the recently published edition of Dante's »Inferno« (made together with Fabrica) - testify to his wide spectrum appeal. As editor-in-chief of COLORS, a monothematic magazine with six bilingual editions, he proposes ideas about content: a series of interconnected narrative structures published as COLORS survival guides.

»It is not just the story. It is crucial, as it is told, to seduce«.  David Moretti seduces his readers – by provocation. With colours, with typography, with design which directly invades the comfort zone of relaxed sofa reading. Using image sequences beginning with the cover of the Italian edition of Wired Magazine and continuing within the magazine to form an integrated book.
