CoMBo. Il magazine della Compagnia del Muro e della Bomboletta (CoMBo. The magazine of the The Wall and Spray Can Company), is the communicative part of my master’s thesis project in Visual and Multimedia Communication Design La strada del writing.
The magazine is an informative and cultural tool on the subject of Writing, but also the communicative tool of the itinerant culture center La Compagnia del Muro e della Bomboletta (The Wall and Spray Can Company) that I conceived and illustrated in my thesis.
Designed by Cinzia D'Emidio. Typesetting in Publico [2010] designed by Paul Barnes and Christian Schwartz, in Druk [2014] designed by Berton Hasebe and in Lekton [2012] design by Luciano Perondi and his students, ISIA, Urbino, Italy. Printed on Symbol matt plus paper by Fedrigoni, gr 150. Format: 230 x 297 mm.
The quarterly is a point of reference for both writers and scholars or enthusiasts, since it deals in depth with Writing, always considering the sense of belonging to the crew group and the street as a place of action.
The magazine consists in five sections: Graffiti, as its name suggests, the first section that pushes the writers into the core of the subject: Writing and writers; PDW, the acronym for Parola di Writer (Writer's word), a section dedicated to narrating the experience of a crew told by the voices of all members of the crew; Crew Story, the cover story, it focuses on a crew and explores its route; Frontiera (Border), dedicated to border regions, including articles concerning marginal city areas and the pieces that can be found there; Microcosmo (Microcosm), lastly, is a photo gallery that represents graffiti in their contest.
