Designers from our Repetition issue. © Photo by Ross Floyd.
With this new design team the goal is not only to change the look of MAS Context but also rethink how we produce each issue of the design journal. For that reason, we are opening the design of each issue up for collaboration by inviting a select group of emerging and established Chicago designers. Like the essence of the publication, the design of each issue will be a compilation using Thirst’s new design guidelines. We believe this publication can become an on-going mirror of the Chicago design community in response to the global content of MAS Context.
With each issue, we will experiment with this structure, exploring different ways of collaboration and redefining our process. We are really excited to work with Thirst and the Chicago design community within this structure and see what it can generate.
For our Repetition issue we had the pleasure to work with eighteen designers, each one in charge of an article. Here is the group of designers that shaped Repetition:
