Visual Identity for Flash records by Tobias Schererbauer and Sebastian Pataki.
” Designers develop and publish magazines and books in order to create a platform for self-initiated projects and experiment with their visual language. They want to be able to work autonomously and have complete control over content, purpose and message of a project.”
IN ALMOST EVERY PICTURE # 9
Collected and edited by Erik Kessels
“
In Almost Every Picture 9 is the latest addition to the long running series of found photography. This time around, we are presented with the peculiar story of one family’s attempts to photograph its black dog. “Attempts” being the operative word.
Unfortunately, their camera’s limitations mean that the canine appears, time after time, as only the vague black blob. The all black dog shape is seen posed in all kinds of domestic situations, usually with his owners as part of a tableaux of homely contentment.
But while these contexts make it clear that the silhouetted pooch is an integral part of the family’s life, it’s equally clear that there’s no situation capable of providing the requisite amount of light.

POST is the ‘first independently created magazine for iPad’. Explain the content strategy and reasons for creating it.
The first issue takes the shift from print communications to the digital realm as its nexus – that is an exploration ‘matter’ – the physical essence transformed into the virtual. Yet, within the iPad there are anomalies to this transformation, the fact that the iPad is a tactile medium, one which is navigated through touch. The first issue of POST is an exploration of this transformation, a mediation on this paradigm shift. As we have created the magazine exclusively for the iPad, and without a printed sibling to inform how content is communicated on this new device, we are free to fully explore the capacity of this new medium.

Video backgrounds feature heavily in the app – is text dying or is information
As our worlds have become increasingly media saturated, we have become more and more adept at understanding what and how an idea is communicated. From an editorial context, when we are discussing a film, like we have done with Enter The Void in the first issue, rather than having to summarise the plot, mood and characters of the film, we can show a trailer – which, through focus groups and marketing teams of the distribution and film producers has been empirically judged to be the best form of communicating and summarizing the story – and a closer peek within the film through the form of exclusive clips, so the viewer has a full understanding of the interview they are about the experience. Or say, more straightforwardly take the architecture feature, ‘Still Life’ on Hylozoic Ground’s installation at the Venice Architecture Biennale – the title page is a video background in which the camera pans and zooms around the installation, communicating much more information than a static photograph.
