⌘E magazine, issue 4, “Chaos und Kontrolle”

⌘E (Command E) is the student magazine of the Media Design program at DHBW Ravensburg. The fourth issue evolved from a second semester graphic design project on the exciting topic of “chaos and control”. In keeping with this, ⌘E4 was developed as a non-linear concept and realized in six aspects: Norm, Context, Development, Communication, Perspective and Perception. Each aspect is treated and visualized as a separate episode. Held together by a slipcase, the loose episodes invite you to rearrange them again and again and create new thematic references. The entire magazine is thus to be understood as either/or, back/forth, or open/closed – as an embodiment of “chaos and control”. The choice of two types of printing – digital and Riso – symbolizes the influences that the content and design have on each other. ABC Monument Grotesk is paired with Kepler (not shown here).
