SIDE CHANNEL / Offline Matter
Self-initiated project
I designed SIDE CHANNEL as an English-language independent magazine about the physical life of digital culture. Its first issue, Offline Matter, looks at cables, worn surfaces, repair, small possessions and moments away from the display.

The challenge
I wanted a publication that could sustain a sequence of pages, rather than a cover followed by repeated layouts. The design needed to accommodate readable writing, an imagined interview, object inventories, photographic essays and a typographic pause.
The idea
The screen is only one surface in a larger room. I built the issue around things that usually sit outside the frame: a connector under a desk, a polished key and a pencil mark after erasure. The opening cable returns as an editorial thread, while the closing pages widen the view to the surrounding space.
