Patterns+Insights: Issue 01, Unbound

Description

Patterns+Insights (P+I) navigates the challenges of the 21st century across design, art, humanities, and technology, setting the stage for the publication, "Unbound" — a recognition of creative women breaking societal constraints.

In the digital age, the inaugural print edition is a tactile experience, bound with elastic and printed on three distinct paper stocks. This analog artifact invites readers to rediscover a tangible connection, engaging their senses and embracing the essence of being unbound. The flexible typography system ensures diverse story genres find a voice with readability and visual allure. The magazine is typeset in GT Alpina and GT America for their flexibility, legibility, and contrast.

P+I's versatile masthead, showcasing a grid of the goddess symbol, symbolizes empowerment—a prelude to the "Unbound" issue's celebration of women catalyzing positive change in design culture and beyond. An exploration where design details highlight stories of creativity, encapsulating the spirit of women, unbound.
