DISEÑA is an academic editorial project developed within the Graphic Design and Multimedia degree at Creative Campus, Universidad Europea, connecting the subjects of History of Graphic Design and Editorial Resources in a transversal way. The magazine is conceived as a space for research, critical reflection and editorial practice, where graphic design is understood as a tool for cultural communication.
Project challenge
The main challenge of the project lies in articulating an editorial publication that combines historical research, critical reflection and graphic design, translating academic content into a coherent and engaging divulgative format. In addition, the project requires making the work of women designers visible through a rigorous approach, avoiding a superficial or merely commemorative treatment.
Student’s inspiration
The inspiration stems from the history of graphic design and feminist movements that have challenged power structures within art and visual culture. References such as Guerrilla Girls, Barbara Kruger, and contemporary discourses on gender equality serve as a conceptual foundation for rethinking historical narratives from a critical and contemporary perspective.
Creative process
The process begins with individual research in the History of Graphic Design course, where each student selects a female designer and develops an opinion article. Later, in Editorial Resources, these contents are adapted into magazine format, addressing layout decisions, visual rhythm and editorial coherence. The project culminates in the design of the cover and the complete structuring of the publication.
Bibliographic and documentary research
The magazine DISEÑA has been printed and publicly presented at the Blanc Festival, in a professional context that connects students with designers and key agents from the graphic design industry, reinforcing the project’s real-world, educational and professional nature.
