Hot off the press! Slanted Magazine does Athens in its stunning new issue

Back in the spring of 2017 Slanted editors embarked on their trip to Athens to take a close-up look at the city's contemporary design scene. Athens's documenta14 -in parallel to Kassel- offered the perfect canvas for the magazine's task. All the designers Slanted met, talked very positively about the event, bringing back art and life to Athens, suffering from draconian cuts in culture budgets. The list of designers Slanted met with boasts everyone from legends such as Michalis Katzourakis and established typographers such as Parachute's Panos Vasileiou to young, wild creatives such as Bend, The Birthdays Design, Blaqk, Bob Studio, Dylsectic, G Design Studio, Irini Gonou, Luminous Design Group, MAMA Silkscreen, Typical Organization, Urban Calligraphy and Ifigenia Vasiliou allowed a glimpse into their world expressing their exciting visual languages in their own right. On occasion of the release of Slanted Magazine #30—Athens, a limited special edition has been released which is exclusively available in the Slanted Shop. The edition contains a screen printed tote bag, designed by Blaqk, a photo essay by photographer Daniel Rupp and a risograph booklet, designed by Xenia Fastnacht, produced at the University of Arts and Design Karlsruhe.
