On the occasion of its 25th birthday Swiss magazine »Publisher« offered all its subscribers one page to design. The magazine gets digitally printed and each copy will contain two of those pages designed by different people. Each subscriber will receive their copy with the pages chosen based on their profile (which is their preferred color and movie genre and their professional background).
You were free to choose the message of your design, be it an ad, birthday greetings, a message to fellow subscribers ...
This is my entry. I chose to design birthday wishes and placed memories of my past 25 years of publishing into the illustration.
