Beschreibung

In the spring of 2021, Slanted Publishers launches a global call for submissions and showcases of color. From more than 1,300 submissions, the works of 300 designers, illustrators, photographers, writers, and artists from around the world were selected to be part of Slanted Magazine #38—Colours. The issue celebrates happiness, joy of life, power, symbolism, and the meaning of color. We look for contrast, colorful typography, gradients, fun, chaos, shock. We celebrate art, illustration, fashion, photography—but most of all we look for strong, meaningful graphic design though in a colorful way. Joan Miro said: "I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music." Ultimately, this issue is an ode to the joy and happiness of life with all its gradations. Color is more than just fashion. It is a statement for an entire era! Im Frühjahr 2021 startet Slanted Publishers einen weltweiten Aufruf, farbenfrohe Arbeiten einzureichen und damit Farbe zu bekennen. Aus mehr als 1.300 Einreichungen wurden Arbeiten von 300 Designer*innen, Illustrator*innen, Fotograf*innen, Autor*innen und Künstler*innen aus der ganzen Welt ausgewählt, die nun im Slanted Magazine #38–Colours zu finden sind. Die Ausgabe zelebriert Glück, Lebensfreude, Kraft, Symbolik und die Bedeutung von Farbe. Wir suchen nach Kontrasten, bunter Typografie, Farbverläufen, Spaß, Chaos, Schock. Wir feiern Kunst, Illustration, Mode, Fotografie – aber vor allem suchen wir nach starkem, aussagekräftigem Grafikdesign, und zwar auf farbenfrohe Art und Weise. Joan Miro sagte: »Ich versuche, Farben so einzusetzen wie Worte, die Gedichte formen, wie Noten, die Musik formen.« Letztlich ist diese Ausgabe eine Ode an die Freude und an das Glück des Lebens mit all seinen Nuancen. Farbe ist mehr als nur Mode. Sie ist ein Statement einer ganzen Ära!

The body with the texture of Spotify appears in a suggestive position, dancing, in a festive situation, that reminds us of body contact sensations and the rituals that define us as social beings. The corporate image of the large multinationals in the digital age is expanding, becoming the packaging that represents us, they end up being part of our needs just like the skin we inhabit.

This photo was reinterpreted and abstracted by misinterpretations during loading by the computer. This resulted in countless shapes and color codes, on the basis of which I created a new design. The result was an interplay of digital and analog, of mistakes, and conscious decisions. Stella Ariana Gherghina→046RGB / All the Colors (Updated Version) all the colorsis a homage to graphic design and print. It plays with geometric shapes, the RGB color palette, and the layering of elements which creates light and shadow. The typeface OCR-Aused for the print series is one of the first fonts created that could be recognized by both humans and computers.
