Work / Publication Graphic designer Braulio Amado picks out his favourite posters of 2016 from his new book

Portuguese graphic designer Braulio Amado has just released a new book through Lisbon-based publisher Stolen Books that catalogues the enormous amount of posters he created in 2016. The books contains over 100 posters and the selection process was fairly straightforward for Braulio. “Except for two or three posters I couldn’t find the high res images for, all the work I did in 2016 ended up in the book,” he says. “I also took two posters out of it because they were really, really bad and I felt embarrassed. Besides that I just organised them in chronological order, which was interesting because you can definitely tell where my head was at during some weeks.”

Work / Publication Photographer Raymond Rojas captures the “magic” in Disneyland Paris

“Magic Everywhere was born one day while talking a walk with my father, we noticed a travel agency which had an ad about a trip to Disneyland Paris. Four months later we were flying to Paris from Las Palmas,” explains photographer Raymond Rojas. “It was clear to me that I wasn’t interested in taking photos other people would take at the park – I wanted to take a deeper approach, a visual exploration of the park throughout the four days we were there.”

Media Partnership / Graphic Design A Soviet vision of the future: the legacy and influence of Tekhikia – Molodezhi magazine

The history of the Soviet publication and science magazine Tekhnika – Molodezhi opens a window onto a wider story about the history and development of Soviet science fiction. From 1930-90, T-M magazine was the primary Soviet magazine to organise literary and art contests for science-fiction writers and artists; while also publishing interviews with, and works by, key Soviet and international authors. During this era it was often the first publisher of foreign science fiction authors in the USSR. Through examining the key artists and contributors it is possible to illuminate the ways in which science fiction functioned as powerful outlet for the socio-political anxieties and tensions of this period.
