Youth in the Media City online publication

Challenge

The Digital Youth in the Media City research project, which studies youth cultural phenomena using an interdisciplinary approach, wanted a digital publication format created that differs from a traditional report. The publication also differs from a traditional one in its content: it consists of five essay texts, photographs and a sound artwork. The publication was hoped to reach the wider educated public in addition to an academic audience. The appearance was to stand out in a boldly distinctive way.

Solution

We created a publication for the WordPress platform and designed a new type of format for the layout. In the design, we took into account the wishes for an appearance that arouses interest, good readability of the content and a clear reading experience that guides the reader. The typography is designed to be easy to read. The photos were given space in the middle of the text. We created a boldly abstract style for the illustrations.
