Sunday Zine Review #68: dienacht #12

Calin Kruse, the editor of dienacht magazine, messaged me a couple of weeks ago to talk about his publication. dienacht is a biannual magazine for photography, design, subculture published in Germany (with German and English text) and featuring the work of international artists.

The first thing I loved about the magazine was the format: a size slightly smaller than A5 with an almost square shape. These dimensions, along with the great paper quality and binding, make this publication feel more like a book than a magazine.

The variety of the portfolios presented in this issue makes it also really interesting. I had never heard about the photographers featured so it was great to discover Marco Vernaschi's Biophilia series about exploring the increasing trend of reconnecting with the natural world, or Dennis Dailleux photos of Ghana.

Although the main focus of the publication is on photography, dienacht has also space for other disciplines like graphic design and mixed media. 

The final pages of the magazine are dedicated to one of my favourite things -yes, you guessed right- zine, magazine and book reviews focusing on photography.

The last issue of dienacht is a limited edition of 1,000 copies and it's only 7€. If you want to find more information about it, you can do it on the magazine's website.

Future Positive: Amy Dolan

I'm really happy to share with you the latest project I've been involved in. Last Sunday, Jakub and I launched Future Positive, a website where we want to document the work of creative individuals and inspire people to start their own projects.

I've taken the photos and Jakub has filmed the nice video below for our first interview with Amy Dolan, creator and maker of Ziggy Sawdust. If you want to read the full interview and have a look at more photos you can do it here.

Also, if you'd enjoyed the website it would be great if you could support the project by liking it on Facebook and following on Twitter. Thank you!

Zinio Giveaway

A few weeks ago I discovered Zinio, a digital newsstand with magazines from all around the world. If you read my blog regularly, you must have noticed that I'm a huge print magazines fan but I have to admit that I also read some digital publications, especially those that are hard to find.

When I came across Zinio while using my iPad I found it amazing, mainly because of the huge amount of magazines they offer! 

The prices of the subscriptions are also another reason to start using Zinio. I found them cheaper than other similar platforms and they also have lots of offers. Right now for example, they're offering 2 x 1 year subscriptions for the price of one on selected magazines.

I've been approached by Zinio to run a giveaway on my blog. They've offered me 10 magazine subscriptions, I'm keeping one of them (it's gonna be hard to decide with so many options) so I still have 9 to give away between everyone who leaves a comment below with their name and email address!

The winners will be announced soon here on my blog!

Sunday Zine Review #67: Deutsche Qualität by Maycec

Maycec (Cécile Mayot) is a French graphic designer who is also interested in zines. Cécile messaged me a couple of weeks ago to show me Deutsche Qualität, a photography zine showcasing images taken by Céline Marioni and Cécile.

If you follow my blog, you might have read that I spent some days in Berlin last November. Deutsche Qualität collects little moments from this city and after flipping through its pages, it really made me want to book a couple of days off from work and visit Berlin again.

In Deutsch Qualität, Céline and Cécile snap the still life of Berlin, creating a collection of the images that represent the diversity of this city. 

If you're interested in knowing a little more about the zine, you can do it on Maycec's website.

Sunday Zine Review #66: Mr. Spoqui #39

Mr. Spoqui can be now considered a regular here on the Sunday Zine Review. It's always great when the Baeza siblings send me the latest issue of their zine because it really puts me in a good mood.

For those of you who are new to the Sunday Zine Review, have a look a the previous reviews and an interview with one of Mr. Spoqui's creators here.

Mr. Spoqui is one of the zines I like to keep in my bag and carry with me everywhere. Even if it's a zine you could finish reading in probably less than 30min, I always like to take it with me and enjoy it throughout a week. I read one of the short comics on the bus to work or one of the texts just before going to bed - I believe that's the way Mr. Spoqui should be enjoyed!

Issue #39 is dedicated to magic and, as always, the zine is packed with great photographs, comics and text around the topic. Each of the Baeza siblings and some new contributors have collaborated to create a very special issue where some of the best magic secrets are revealed!

If you're interested in this issue, make sure you visit Mr. Spoqui website to find out more about it and get yourself a copy to start building your Mr. Spoqui collection!!
