Design and Construction of a Magazine

You will begin to learn a little more about the origins and career of Óscar Mariné, an off-road designer who has done editorial design projects, art direction, corporate identity, album covers, film posters and many more.

Óscar will further explain some of his most important editorial works - such as the magazine Madrid Me Mata, Diario 16, Marie Claire, Diseño & interior or the cover of Life magazine - and will talk about the assignment they made to redesign the Sunday supplement El País Semanal.

You will know what is a Manual of graphic standards for a printed publication and how to make it based on its different elements: the cover, the page, the double page, the summary, the opinion columns, the letters to the director, the in-depth interview, the great reports, the different sections (health, recipes, sex, psychology ...), etc.

Starting from the premise that graphic design has to be at the service of communication, you will learn to design favoring an excellent reading and working with the reticle, making a correct use of typography, line spacing, layout and photography. All this to create a magazine with rhythm, character and emotion.
