Newspapers are struggling to survive, cutting costs and staff – and it shows on the pages. Magazines seems to have more room for experiments, and visuals are part of the fight to get and keep readers. Graphic artist and designer Lars Pryds will show and discuss examples of innovative magazine work being done in the Scandinavian countries. Meet among others: the Swedish longwriters, the Finnish porn star, the Norwegian twins, the Danish photo champions – and help answer the question: Will magazines beat the shit out of newspapers? As a bonus – get a short introduction to SNDS Magazine, the ambitious ‘inhouse’ print publication of the Scandinavian branch of SND.
