Description
An incredible, award-winning milestone in South African print media history: the highly sought-after Spring 2006 Collector’s Issue of VISI magazine (Issue No. 27). This landmark edition completely discarded standard interior design tropes, handing total creative freedom to guest art director and avant-garde design maestro Peet Pienaar.
Featuring Pienaar’s iconic, hyper-saturated vector illustration style, the cover utilizes a revolutionary, wavy die-cut edge that turns the entire physical magazine into a piece of tactile pop art. This historic layout went on to win a prestigious Gold Ozzie Award in New York for its exceptional cover design.
A masterpiece of mid-2000s South African creative subversion, this issue remains a definitive reference piece for graphic designers, publication archivists, and collectors of local contemporary design history.
