Pop & Rop



What's really new? POP from Sweden was a music magazine published from 1992 until 1999. Only just over ten years ago, that may seem or feel pre-historic. It may sound boring and uninspiring. Yet this Swedish POP was ground-breaking for a new kind, modern-feel over all approach and design. It may seem minimalistic in retrospect, but that was just the whole point. Form and function in a well spoken way.


By contrast ROP magazine is a self-made, self-art-directed and fully self-generated magazine, where form and content are modeled, photographed, written, edited and designed by a 25 year old graduare in communication design. 250 pages of and by the same 25 year old. Topics are favorites and a mix of interest, the printed format is 250cm x 360cm. Have a look at the whole issue at ROP MAG
