I Came For Couscous, issue 01

Printed publication that showcases voices and creative minds from the Arab world. I Came For Couscous presents itself as a human experience, where writers, photographers, filmmakers, designers, illustrators, and poets explore openness and diversity, and the beautiful contrasts of the MENA region.

This first issue was designed focusing on a graphic system that could accommodate and elevate contents from a variety of cultures and visual heritages. A high-end collectible, the act of balancing the full and colourful with the empty and white was key to develop the pace of the magazine.
