Slanted Magazine #28—Warsaw

In June 2016, the Slanted editors Lars Harmsen and Julia Kahl embarked on a two-week-trip to Warsaw, taking a close look on the contemporary design scene of Warsaw. They wanted to figure out what Polish design looks like today, asking how the young generation finds its place in societyin a capital which is constantly striding forward – a great opportunity and/or struggle, redefining own positions and thoughts.

Slanted met numerous designers, from old masters and legends, such as Rosław Szaybo or Mieczysław Wasilewski, to the young wild ones, such as Noviki, Type2, Jakub de Barbaro, or Edgar Bąk Studio – as well as well known figures from the contemporary design scene, such as Łukasz Dziedzic, FONTARTE, HUNCWOT, Grzegorz Laszuk, Mamastudio, Super Super, Syfon Studio, Jacek Utko, UVMW, White Cat Studio, and Zerkaj Studio.

Moreover the issue is thematically complemented by illustrations, photography, interviews and essays. It comes along with contributions by 3group, Max Cegielski, Cyber Kids on Real, Klara Czerniewska, Olga Drenda, Agata Dudek, Marta Gawin, Dirk Gebhardt, Viktoriya Grabowska, Grupa Projektor, Homework, Jakub Jezierski, Tymek Jezierski, Janek Koza, Agata Królak, KUKI, Iwona Kurz, Piotr Leśniak, Ian Lynam, Mateusz Machalski, Piotr Młodożeniec, MOONMADNESS, Negation Studio, Marta Niedbał, Ola Niepsuj, Agata Nowicka, Kacper Pobłocki, Poważne Studio, Redkroft, Zuzanna Rogatty, Dr. Piotr Rypson, Dawid Ryski, siedemzero, Piotr Socha, StudioKxx, Studio Otwarte, Super Salon, Dr. Agata Szydłowska, Tomasz Walenta, and Rene Wawrzkiewicz.

The conducted video interviews with various designers from Warsaw can be watched online on our video platform for free!

Limited Portugal Special Edition / Bag + Photo Essay + Tiny Posters + Pencils

On occasion of the release of Slanted Magazine #27—Portugal, a limited Special Edition has been published which is exclusively available in the Slanted Shop. The edition contains a screen printed tote bag, a photo essay by photographer Daniel Sommer, a set of tiny posters related to Portuguese music (University of Arts and Design Karlsruhe), and custom made pencils by Viarco, the oldest pencil factory of Portugal.

Tote Bag – Saudade, the love that remains

Saudade is a typical word in Portuguese that claims no direct translation in English. In Portuguese, “Tenho saudades tuas” translates as “I have (feel) saudade of you” meaning “I miss you,” but carries a much stronger tone. Saudade was once described as “the love that remains” after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again.

Photo-Essay – Portugal

Photographer Daniel Sommer has built up his portfolio concentrating on sports and sports personality portraits. In February 2016 he accompanied the Slanted team on their trip to Portugal to capture the mood of Portugal at night. From the rough sea to the unusual appearance of common sights and wild nature – Portugal at night has a mystical aura.

Tiny Posters – Visueller Soundtrack

Music and graphics are two different kinds of media, auditory, and visual. But they always come together and one cannot think about the one without thinking about the other. Can we explain music through images only? In the seminar Tiny Posters at the University of Arts and Design Karlsruhe, four students have approached this subject and searched for Portuguese musicians whose work they wanted to approach visually.

For every musician they printed six posters for six of their songs in various techniques such as linocut, or nyloprint. A selection of these posters can be found in this set, which was produced on the university’s own printing-press “Black Betty“ in an edition of 200 copies. A visual soundtrack exclusively sampled for Slanted Portugal!

Supervisor: Juliane Hohlbaum
Design: Lisa Walter, Selina Zwaller, Klara-Sophie Neubauer, Desiree Kabis
Format: 16 x 24 cm
Volume: set of 8 tiny posters
Techniques: linocut, photopolymer, wrapping film, riso (folder)

Pencils – Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades.

The national poet Luís Vaz de Camões (1524–1580) once said these words, which can be translated to “Times change, wills change.” Change is visible all over the country, and only because of the strong will of the Portuguese, and the boundless will of José Vieira, owner of the oldest pencil factory Portugal’s, places like Viarco are still alive. They manufactured these wonderful pencils for the special edition and with this share their approach and heritage with the Slanted readers worldwide.

Get an insight look into the oldest factory of Portugal online and in Slanted Magazine #27—Portugal, p. 68–71.

Slanted Magazine #27—Portugal

Women with baskets full of fish are old postcard clichés from the past. The cosmopolitan Lisbon is one of the last Western European capitals awakening from its deep slumber. In this three million metropole an uprising age group resists stereotypes of battered monuments and picturesque paved alleys and looks nervously to the future with a steady attempt to catch up on lost time.

Other Portuguese cities pass through a similar renaissance. Slanted’s journey took them from Lisbon to Porto with a stop in Coimbra, visiting all in all 27 studios. Some people said that Lisbon was the woman while Porto was the man. The first one more smooth and emotional while the northern one is more kind of direct and rational. For both of them, old and new seem to clash with tradition and avant-garde.

Historic factories such as Viúva Lamego (tiles) and Viarco (pencils) proved that they were able to redefine themselves without losing their souls. Same goes for the new energetic generation of designers that grew up with the financial crisis and unemployment: time has come to redefine the dramatic change of their country, influencing all aspects of cultural life.

The issue is thematically complemented by illustrations, photography, interviews and essays.

Slanted Special Issue – Marrakech

Marrakech is changing. Despite the Moroccans longing for modernity, traditional fine art clogs the souks. It was not until Vanessa Branson, Richard Branson’s sister, started the Marrakech Biennale in 2004 that the town enhanced artistically. The event encouraged dialogue and diversity among international and local arts communities, with venues in both the walled old town and the Ville Nouvelle.

Modernism has touched medina, changing historic riads into hip cafés, hot spots and social hubs of an emerging art scene. There is Laila Hida, who created Le 18 Derb el Ferrane, a philanthropic new studio space, operating as a blank canvas for artists and photographers, poets and writers, dancers and musicians to work, exhibit and perform.

Hana’s Queen of Medina Priscilla follows the same concept in an even more freaky-alternative way. Artsi Ifrach, better known as Art/C, is a fashion designer who turns vintage Moroccan textiles into haute couture. In the dust and smog of the suburbs, modern art galleries such as the Galerie 127 and the Voice Gallery attract a young and fast growing population – about 1.8 million (residents) so far.

It is down to outside influences to help inspire, educate, and put things in context, which is generating a force all of its own. Together, all these people form part of a creative revolution that is bubbling away behind the city’s ancient walls. The Moroccan art and design scene aims to fulfil its destiny while reconnecting with its roots. It seems to be an incredible hopeful time to live there.

Visits and authors:
Adil Roufi, Ali Chraibi, ART/C, Daidō Moriyama, Dirk Gebhardt, Eric van Hove, Florence Robert-Vissy, Hana Tefrati, Hanae Ouraht, Hicham Gardaf, Laila Hida, M’barek Bouhchichi, Mohamed Arejdal, Moulay Youssef Elkhafaï, Mustapha Diop, Natalie Locatelli, Rocco Orlacchio, Simon Baker, Yvon Langué, Zineb Benjelloun

NYC Special / Photo Essay + Type Stencils

On occasion of the release of Slanted Magazine #26 – New York, we published the limited NYC Special which is exclusively available in the Slanted Shop. The edition contains a Photo Essay by Jochen Sand, a limited type-stencil-set, and an original letterpress bookmark which is part of the 83M80 project.

Photo Essay – NYC Special

Jochen Sand is a German photographer who works for international clients since 1995. In September 2015, he accompanied the Slanted team on their way to New York to meet the young generation of designers, typographers and artists which witness and create the change of a megacity.

Many years ago Jochen Sand came to New York City as a young photographer already. Over there he discovered that hanging out on the roofs of Hell’s Kitchen shooting fashion or ending up celebrating Mickey Rourke’s birthday, was much more glamorous than giving a sexy light to doorhandles and kitchen cupboards.

New York is the city of superlatives – this inspiration and the collected experiences are very important to Jochen Sand’s work. For Slanted, he caught the pulse of the city, the breath of the streets, and the life of those who live and survive in NYC.

Slanted Magazine #26 – New York

Slanted (David) took oneself to New York (Goliath) in September 2015 to meet the generation of designers, typographers and artists who witness and shape the transition of the city. They produced comprehensive studio portraits and video interviews which provide a vivid and up-to-the-minute picture of the scene.

Because the city grew old and mainstreamed – it’s a miracle that it still works. The city has kept its speed and those who do not stick with it will be left over. The continuing speed is New York’s power; everyone living here wants to do or become something/someone. Nobody lives here without a good reason. Creativity is part of the fight for survival. Therefore Andy Warhol’s banana – originally designed for the Velvet Underground – suits much better to New York than the “big apple.”

Furthermore the issue is thematically complemented by illustrations, photography, interviews and essays.

FRESH 2, Cutting Edge Illustrations – Public

Today, more than ever, illustration has become socially acceptable. With the advent of photography, it was virtually pushed out of advertising. However, those believed dead live longer. Illustration thus experiences a grandiose triumphal march that extends to all areas, whether editorial design, object design, architecture or street art. A recapture which, especially in times of media overkill and digital alienation, creates warmth and closeness to the human being.

Just as boundaries have dissolved in music and the mix of styles and influences has not been taboo for a long time, similar shifts and breakthroughs occur in illustration. Moreover, it is an old law that turns underground into mainstream. Graffiti art has long since entered the museum and street art into the advertising industry. Former magic words like guerilla marketing belong to the repertoire of every zero eight fifteen campaign. The creative scene must therefore constantly renew itself and invent itself in order to remain what it wants to be: original, intelligent, different.

With FRESH Cutting Edge Illustrations, Slanted reveals a passionate perspective on the field of illustration, the older, more figurative and expressive sister of typography. FRESH is a compilation of this exciting and boundless movement, and brings together an international collection of various illustrators, current styles and media. It is presented in a series of three volumes: Object, Public and Print. From personal to commercial illustrations, from fashion to street art, from two- to three-dimensional approaches—the FRESH series contains more than 1,400 works. The selection of the works presented in FRESH was made by a jury of professional illustrators (Johannes König, Michael Luz, Mone Maurer, Raban Ruddigkeit and André Rösler). FRESH was designed by the designers of Slanted Magazine and Weblogs, the German agency MAGMA Brand Design.

The second volume, “FRESH Public” deals with street art, graffiti and illustration in relation to architecture, in-store graphics and public space. It questions the limits of staged illustration, the concept of permanence and spatial presence. Preface by Wayne Anthony, interviews with INOPERAbLE Gallery, Pure Evil and Dethkills Collective.

FRESH 3, Cutting Edge Illustrations – Print

The third volume, “FRESH Print” presents the best of print such as editorial design, print and book art, posters, fanzines, flyers and much more. Foreword by Joe Newton. Interviews with Illustration Québec, Rotopolpress and Kai & Sunny.

Dead & Alive – Birthday Calendar – Vol. 01 Design

Dead and Alive – Der Geburtstagskalender mit 366 inspirierenden Persönlichkeiten aus der Welt der Gestaltung. Für alle Schussel, die gerne mal Geburtstage vergessen, für alle Entdecker, die an Kunst- und Designgeschichte interessiert sind und für alle Neugierigen, die immer schon wissen wollten, welcher Gestalter wohl an ihrem Geburtstag Geburtstag hat.
Herausgegeben wird der wunderschöne Kalender von Lit & Mix – das ist die Spielwiese der Designer Nora Gummert-Hauser und Gerd Hauser. Normalerweise arbeitet Gerd Hauser als Illustrator und manchmal bringt er auch Studierenden das Zeichnen bei – seine Arbeiten finden Sie auf diesem Tumblr-Blog.
Nora Gummert-Hauser ist Grafikdesignerin und unterrichtet an der Hochschule Niederrhein im Bereich Typografie und Editorial-Design. Arbeiten von ihr finden sich hier – Achtung – olle Flash-Site :). Manchmal forscht sie auch, wie zum Beispiel 2014/2015 zum Thema Europäische Grenzverschiebung. Und hier befinden sich die Arbeiten ihrer Studierenden.

Slanted Magazine #25 – Paris

Loved and hated, hated and loved—seemingly no other European nation has a similarly segmented relationship to their capital as the French. Everything starts in Paris and everything conspires here. The city is the undisputed center of gravity of the country—almighty and omnipresent. All power originates and disperses from the city; politics, economics and culture.

In February 2015, the Slanted editors embarked on a one-week-trip to Paris to take a close-up look at contemporary design work and the loved and hated capitol of France. The Slanted team met 18 design studios and found a virtuosic approach on the unconcealed wounds and contradictions of a rapidly changing society as well as spirit and humor as a subversive armamentarium. They produced comprehensive studio portraits which provide a vivid and up-to-the-minute picture of the scene.

The resulting video interviews have been enriched with video material from the Shutterstock collection. Thanks to Augmented Reality and the Junaio app, readers can easily watch embedded videos of the Paris trip on mobile devices. Additionally, some of the videos can be watched online for free at slanted.de/videos

Slanted Magazine #25 – Paris is thematically complemented by illustrations, photography and fine art from contemporary culture.

Slanted Magazine #24 – Istanbul

Istanbul – the city on the Bosphorus – is famous for its countless minarets, magnificent palaces, colorful markets and traders, seagulls and stray cats. Istanbul is the only metropolis in the world that unites two continents. Traditional crafts collide with a young and blossoming art and design scene, which is slowly changing the face and image of the city.

Slanted takes a close-up look at contemporary design work and all the tumultuous developments in this cultural melting pot city balanced between the Orient and the Occident. On their one-week-trip the Slanted team met 15 design studios and produced comprehensive studio portraits which provide a vivid and up-to-the-minute picture of the scene.

The issue is thematically complemented by illustrations, photography and fine art from contemporary culture.

The cover is dedicated to Metin Edremit, the designer of the original “Istanbul symbol” whose design won first place in a competition 1969. The “logo” symbolizes many things, such as the seven hills upon which Istanbul was built and the city skyline. With small, formal changes, it now graces the 2-color printed letterpress-cover.

MONSTERBOX

ROOOOAAAARRRR! The first MONSTERBOX is here!

MONSTERBOX is a collection of extraordinary monster illustrations printed on high quality cardboard in 3 different special colors each. In total, the box contains 150 note cards, each with its own monster, illustrator name and URL, and the HKS spot colors used. There is room on the back for notes or small messages.

The trick: By using 3 special colors per card and the respective color information, the cards can be wonderfully used as a color sample and show how differently one can deal with spot colors and what effect can arise when overprinting. And if you are fed up with the information, just separate the color and text details at the perforation below the monster.

Presented Illustrators followed a previous Call for Entries in March 2014 and submitted numerous and fascinating monsters from around the world, illustrated with a variety of techniques. 150 monsters were selected for the MONSTERBOX – they come from Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom and the USA.

Twelve illustrations were made for the track “Fontname(s) Illustrated” in the Slanted Magazine, two of them in form no. 253, ten in the Slanted Magazine # 23—Suisse Issue were mapped. Raban Ruddigkeit, who has been curating this category for many years, has invited illustrators from Switzerland to do so. For the first time, the default was a single font name for everyone—Helvetica. The font names were visualized by the invited illustrators according to their ideas in an illustration.

A limited edition of the illustrations will be available in the Slanted Shop, produced on a Risograph in A3 format. The limited to 10 pieces each prints are numbered and personally signed by the respective illustrator.

From now on, the limited edition prints can be preordered exclusively at the Slanted Shop.

Since 2004 Swiss graphic designer Pascal Staub works under the name Grafilu. Grafilu offers illustrative design in a variety of visual languages, all of which share one common ingredient: the involvement of drawing.
