[UP]arte is a periodical printed magazine that showcases works from students and teachers of the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto. As a member of the editorial team of its fifth volume, I was responsible for the pagination of several of its articles.

Editorial Design

During the editorial design phase it was important to maintain a close contact with the authors of the different articles, since one of the main magazine’s goals was to make sure that the author’s vision for their work was respected and not distorted. At the same time [UP]arte had to gain its own personality.

The editorial concept for the magazine was that the editorial rules set for it were meant to be broken in a different way in each pagination. Although grids and typography rules were established, they weren’t meant to be always followed. With this creation process the magazine gained its own identity through the experimentalist nature of its design.
