'Dialogues on Design and Business'
Backstage Talks is an interview magazine about how design can change business for better by making things useful and beautiful. Filled with detailed interviews and essays by leading creatives and designers, this issue—which explores what it takes to keep going—features Andrej Dúbravsky, Jessica Hische, Mitch Paone, Nico Paulo, Pablo Rochat, Payal Wadhwa, Tove Blomgren, Wifrid Wood et al.
While the magazine has always looked the part—a magazine about design needs to make use of design!—recent issues have been given their look courtesy of US editorial design star Chloe Scheffe. Already one of our favourite designers, the typography, colour and structure she uses is remarkable, and worth picking up the magazine for alone.
On the Journal
At work with Martin Jenca: ‘The collaboration was perfect and really fast. Chloe is a superhuman. So, I trusted her and let her do the work. Usually, I heavily art direct the magazine, but not this time. I wanted for me a new experience and to be surprised when I open our magazine. The result is perfect.’
