hochfünf is now the new name, in reference to our location on campus.
We took around a year to revise the appearance and look for a new name - always together with the students!
The process began in the summer semester of 2021 with a group of eight very committed students. In small groups, they developed the type area adapted to the new format, rules for the typography, the new title page and color concepts for the upcoming issues. There were long discussions about seemingly trivial details such as font sizes and the placement of page numbers - but ultimately it is precisely these details that make a magazine more than just a collection of well-designed individual articles.
At the end of the semester, we had a set of rules and templates with which we dared to do a first “test round”. This test round took place in the winter semester 21/22. Together with other participants in the elective subject, we tested the resulting guidelines and set about fine-tuning them. You can see the result here.
We hope you enjoy exploring and discovering our “new” magazine hochfünf!
