NEWWORK MAGAZINE
NEWWORK MAGAZINE is a large-format arts publication for connoisseur of fresh ideas. Designed and published biannually by STUDIO NEWWORK, each issue features new work from a wide range of artists and creators in the worlds of fine art, design, high fashion, culture, and politics. From art directors to business leaders, design students to curators, NEWWORK’s contributors are united in their passion to push the boundaries of their disciplines. Among the magazine’s special features are bold, custom-designed typefaces and a twist on the traditional newspaper format, offering a stimulating juxtaposition of striking design and everyday simplicity. Since pages can be separated, each layout can be hung on the wall as an individual art piece.
The fourth issue of NEWWORK MAGAZINE finds a range of artists and designers harnessing the power of contrast in its various forms to bring dimension, meaning and mystery to their work. Witness the juicy juxtaposition of graphic and narrative elements in the iconic imagery of photographer Albert Watson. Observe the synergy of classic swiss restraint and unbridled post-modern play in the typographic design of Wolfgang Weingart and the kinetic interplay of geometric and organic forms in the poster design of Bruno Monguzzi. From the one-two punch of high contrast black-and-white forms in the photography of Julian Abram Wainwright and the drawings of Robert Longo, to the poetic tension between two and three dimensions in Werner Jeker’s
enigmatic collages, this issue profiles artists who use dynamic dualisms to yield complex and elegant visual solutions. The rendering presented is the most geometrically accurate visualisation of the 4_21 polytope to date. Previous attempts to render the structure were limited by the inability of graphics engines to construct even simple shapes such as perfect circles. Real Magick… was hand drawn in Illustrator to an accuracy of 1/10,000 of a millimeter.

Ink on newsprint
Robert Geller is an award-winning NY-based men’s fashion brand. STUDIO NEWWORK was assigned to create Spring / Summer 2010 show invitation. Robert Geller’s Spring / Summer 2011 collection was inspired by the youth of the 1960s and 70s – an era in which young people around the world were awakened to the power they possessedto enact change. Of particular interest was
the Berlin student movement that challenged the authoritarianism of the German government. Color plays an important role in defining the Spring / Summer’s vision. Robert introduced Various shades of reds into his collection for the first time. The color speaks to the passion and courage that marked the era’s youth movement. Our graphic solution was mascurine and bold design with this season’s key color, red. Robert Geller’s rectangle logo mark is presented inside the Red rectangle
and the square border. Inspired by Robert’s interest of the Berlin student movement, the English German bilingual invitation was designed.
