Design of issue 16 of Critical Bastards, an Irish magazine of creative criticism that engages with national and international contemporary art. The design interrogates ideas of 'Sense' via intelligibility, tactility and dimensionality. Printed pages imply transparency. Hands hold pages within pages. Text slips and adjusts with shifting context. Featured artist Barbara Knezevic's images are refracted throughout, bleeding through section and surface. An inverted gate-fold forms a prismatic interruption and central fulcrum. Obverse and reverse coalesce.
