Grafica Magazine: New Italian Print Quarterly Devoted to Graphic Design

This Italian magazine is printed in a large tabloid style on unbound newsprint and is divided into three distinct sections: 'Attualità' in yellow for news and interviews, 'Workshop' in orange for educational content, and 'Grafica Archivio' in cyan for explorations of graphic design history. The inaugural issue showcases various artists and features a cover inspired by Sicilian carts. A preview took place on May 25, 2024, during the BIG – Biennale Internazionale della Grafica in Milan, with the official launch set for the Mag to Mag 2024 festival.
