Firu is the result of a course in editorial design at Westerdals. I chose to create a magazine about japanophilia, designing it inspired by japanese graphic design and culture.

The design reflects a contrast between order and energy, a nod to the contrast between the strictness of Japanese work culture and the wildness of Shibuya meltdowns. Content in the magazine is set in a clean, minimalist and grid-based design, with chaotic, vivid and frantic intermission pages inbetween.
