WHAT
In 2020 there were approximately 281 million international migrants. Whatever the reason for leaving one’s home country, building a home in an unfamiliar land is challenging. How might we help people cope with the feelings of exploring new territories? How can we explore the act of migrating to learn from it?
HOW
Plafond is a magazine dedicated to exploring these stories worldwide, drawing parallels between cities of origin and cities of destination. The magazine represents diversity, using different typographies in its titles, while maintaining visual coherence.
plafond
noun
1: a ceiling usually of elaborate design formed by the underside of a floor.
Plafond, the title of the magazine, symbolizes a roof, a house, or a home that we all strive to build over our heads when we migrate to an unfamiliar destination.
Drawing Parallels
The first edition of Plafond draws a comparison between Bogotá and Vancouver.
The Back
The back of Plafond is a compilation of some of the pictures displayed throughout the magazine, with two overlapping maps in the middle. In this case, the maps are the two cities compared in this edition: Bogota and Vancouver.
