maize, collaboration with die Graphische

The students of the Vienna-based design institute took part in a special project to redesign an edition of our maize magazine.

In 2018 we started a collaboration with die Graphische, a professional institute of visual communication and media technologies in Vienna. 65 students, led by professor Martin Drexler, have worked intensely to create their own versions of a printed edition of maize, our platform that explores the impact of technology on business, education and society. They reinterpreted the cover and created a series of articles dedicated to innovation in the fields of art, music and design.

Last week the students presented their concepts in front of our colleagues Marta Caroti and Matteo Scanni: we will publish a selection on the next issue, which will be dedicated to the world of education. A special thanks to Martin Drexler, Cordula Alessandri, Andrea Rotter and Peter Bauer from die Graphische.
