Threaded Ed.17, The Seele Of Seventeen Magazine

Threaded Ed.17, The Seele of Seventeen Magazine is a distinguished print publication that exemplifies the intersection of editorial design, creative collaboration, and psychological exploration in contemporary publishing. This innovative magazine serves as both a curated exhibition space and a platform for diverse discourse, featuring the work of international designers, artists, and writers through a unique lens inspired by Freudian psychoanalytic theory. The publication's distinctive design approach incorporates three different paper stocks - Splendorgel 340gsm for the cover with gloss lamination, Impress Gloss 170gsm, and Splendorgel 140gsm for interior sections - creating a tactile experience that emphasizes the importance of materiality in print media. Measuring 210mm x 7mm x 275mm, the magazine employs a sophisticated design system that seamlessly integrates various artistic methodologies while maintaining editorial cohesion. The publication stands out for its unconventional interview format, where practitioners are given the freedom to present themselves authentically, often serving as both interviewer and interviewee. This self-authored approach results in uniquely reflective case studies that bridge the gap between established and emerging creative practices. The magazine's editorial ethos combines thematic exploration with conceptual ideation, particularly evident in its examination of adolescence through the lens of Freudian personality theory. Recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Print and Published Media Design category, this edition demonstrates excellence in visual communication, typography, and innovative conceptual approach, contributing significantly to the advancement of editorial design practice.
