Magazine

The goal of print is not to survive anymore, it's to be reinvented.

Magazines turn into blogs, articles and interviews into podcasts or reels. To sum it up; pixels are killing CMYK. But is there anything we really can and should do about it?

REDR Magazine is a diverse platform for upcoming underground artists that strives to unite off- with online experience and explore new ways to incorporate web elements into a high quality print medium.

Case Study

For the first time ever more people in Germany are consuming the newspaper online rather than printed. Clearly the social push for content and even currencies sped up a process that was always going to happen.

To stay relevant, print must not ask what it can do differently, but what it can learn and implement from its fellow medium.

REthink

QR codes and even augmented reality elements offer new possibilities for not only visual but also sonic experiences.

The haptic perks that only print offers make use of digital components like streaming, downloads and NFTs.

“NOWADAYS
A PRINT IS
A FETISH OBJECT.”

“By now a printed magazine is something iconic. The younger Generation doesn’t perceive it as what it was once to us, since they mostly know the digital outlets. So if they actually choose to buy a print, it’s because nowadays print is almost a fetish object.”
