\u201cThe themes tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adally as\u00adso\u00adci\u00adated with the al\u00adter\u00adna\u00adtive arts scene are de\u00adlib\u00ader\u00adately re\u00adplaced by cur\u00adrent top\u00adics. In one issue, for in\u00adstance, the news\u00adpa\u00adper ex\u00adplores \u2018Wis\u00adsen und Be\u00addenken\u2019 [Knowl\u00adedge and Mis\u00adgiv\u00adings]. In an\u00adother, it looks at the Wikipedia Gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion and the rise of half-knowl\u00adedge. Under the head\u00ading \u2018Fo\u00adcused on you and your needs\u2019, the ques\u00adtion of sur\u00advival in a cor\u00adpo\u00adrate world is dis\u00adcussed, while an issue de\u00advoted to \u2018Selb\u00adstver\u00f6ffentlichung\u2019 [Self-pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion] is all about pri\u00advacy and the quest for iden\u00adtity in a mass-me\u00addia so\u00adci\u00adety. What is par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlarly re\u00admark\u00adable about this news\u00adpa\u00adper is the way it merges con\u00adtent and form: in this issue, a Face\u00adbook-style lay\u00adout is used to con\u00advey all the in\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion gath\u00adered on\u00adline and col\u00adlated to form the fic\u00adti\u00adtious per\u00adsonal pro\u00adfile of a so-called Mr Rolf M\u00fcller.\u201d
\u201cThe key to the graphic de\u00adsign of the Rote Fab\u00adrik news\u00adpa\u00adper is that it re\u00adsponds specif\u00adi\u00adcally to the cur\u00adrent theme of each issue and is freely adapted to suit the topic rather than hav\u00ading to fol\u00adlow a pre\u00adscribed for\u00admat. This tai\u00adlor-made ap\u00adproach means that the de\u00adsign of each issue is unique, brim\u00adming with ideas and in\u00advari\u00adably full of all sorts of sur\u00adpris\u00ading and un\u00adex\u00adpected graphic so\u00adlu\u00adtions.\u201d
\u201cGre\u00adgor Huber notes how im\u00adpor\u00adtant it is for him to be on the look\u00adout for new, ex\u00adper\u00adi\u00admen\u00adtal ways of get\u00adting the mes\u00adsage across. He has cer\u00adtainly proved that amply in his de\u00adsign for the news\u00adpa\u00adper. The pos\u00adi\u00adtively py\u00adrotech\u00adnic dis\u00adplay of cre\u00adative ideas in his use of dif\u00adfer\u00adent styles, to\u00adgether with his metic\u00adu\u00adlously ex\u00ade\u00adcuted and highly var\u00adied so\u00adlu\u00adtions make him a de\u00adserv\u00ading win\u00adner of this award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
