Radiator Magazine" was a Mexico City/Helsinki-based Mexican poetry magazine devoted to the dissemination of non-conventional literature and arts. The title of the project is an homage to Mexican avant-garde movement Stridentism, whom published 'Irradiador' magazine in 1923. The design of the magazine included several references to literature, pop culture and iconic magazines from the 20th century. The magazine was founded by Emmanuel Vizcaya and me in late 2011.

Later on we developed this idea even further creating remakes of iconic logos and special covers for our anniversary issues.
