V#38 Täuschung magazine

Every once or twice a year, the literature association literatur:vorarlberg, located in Vorarlberg, the westernmost state of Austria, publishes its very own magazine titled V#. The publication provides a platform to present and support the work of regional authors. Each issue is dedicated to a particular theme or topic to which authors are invited to contribute their texts. In autumn 2022, the association published the special issue V#38 Täuschung for which young and upcoming authors were asked to explore the theme of illusion. A wide spectrum of texts was produced and presented alongside hand-drawn optical illusions. The publication was printed with the spot colours blue and orange to achieve a particularly intense colour contrast. This enhances the effect of the optical illusions and contributes to an overall playful appearance of the special issue.

Designers Nguyen Gobber used Loretta for the text, combined with Antarctica.
