Icarus Magazine
A two-colour literary magazine designed as a folding poster within a limited budget.
We used the production constraints as the central design idea, creating an economical object with an unusual reading experience.
Case study
Icarus Issue 122 was designed as a folding poster using two colours to meet a limited production budget.
The poster format created a typesetting challenge: the content had to read correctly from page to page once folded into book form.
The work received an ICAD nomination for magazine and book design, a JMC Papers Review nomination for magazine design, and the Arjowiggins Fine Papers Designer of the Month award.
