Description
Visuelles Design. Die Journalseite als gestaltete Fläche dokumentiert den Forschungsertrag der ersten internationalen Konferenz der DFG-Forschergruppe 2288 »Journalliteratur«. Die hier gebotenen Beiträge widmen sich der visuellen Gestaltung von Journalen, im Sinne der Forschergruppe verstanden als das gesamte Spektrum periodisch erscheinender Printpublikationen. Das Interesse richtet sich auf die Journal(doppel)seite als sichtbare bedruckte Fläche, auf der Worte und Bilder in einem gestalteten Zusammenhang erscheinen. Als Prämisse ist gesetzt, dass die schrift- und bildförmigen Journalinhalte sich nicht abstrakt, körper- wie ortlos, realisieren, sondern an die Materialität und Druckordnung des Journals gebunden bleiben, die eine flächige wie sequentielle Anordnung diverser visueller Elemente vorsehen. Derart werden journalspezifische Momente der (Doppel-)Seitengestaltung konturiert, nicht zuletzt im Vergleich zu anderen Medienformaten, insbesondere dem Buch. Behandelt werden Aspekte anglo-amerikanischer, deutschsprachiger, französischer und arabischer Journalliteratur, überwiegend des >langen< 19. Jahrhunderts.
Visual Design: The Periodical Page as a Designed Surface documents the findings of the first international conference of the DFG-funded research unit 2288 »Journalliteratur«. The contributions collected here deal with the visual design of the >journal<, taken to mean the whole spectrum of periodical print publications, including amongst others newspapers and magazines. Interest is focused on the periodical page (or double-page spread) as a visible printed surface on which words and images appear in a designed context. The premise is that the written and pictorial content of the periodical is not realized in abstraction, as disembodied and placeless, but remains tied to the periodical's materiality and its regimen of print, which provide for a two-dimensional and sequential arrangement of diverse visual elements. Thus, periodical-specific elements of (double-)page design are identified and outlined, not least in comparison to the formats of other media, especially the book. The papers deal with aspects of Anglo-American, German-speaking, French and Arabic periodical production, mainly of the >long< nineteenth century.
