Morphoria Collective has created an editorial design project for POLY, an English-language magazine that serves as a guide to the polycentric Ruhr region in Germany. Published annually, the magazine targets both travelers and locals. The logo on the cover visualizes the magazine's pioneering function. Inside, five illustrated sections help readers navigate art and culture in the Ruhr region. The small-format publication features contributions on urban development and creative industries, complemented by a generous layout.
