THE PROJECT
The project of turning the Silodrome blog into a magazine was given to us as an editorial project in IED Barcelona. Silodrome is the a magazine that features the gasoline culture. The magazine contains different articles and fashion sections, it is the modern guide to cars, motorcycles, gear, boats and gadgets and gasoline culture in general.
DESIGN
We wanted the magazine to communicate an elegance of the classic vehicles and the whole gasoline culture. But at the same time it had to emphazise the passion, the roughness and boldness of the ones who ride. Giving a stage to the fantastic photographs from the blog was a natural choice.
