zines from GDR













These are the photos from the magazines issued in GDR. we thought that there wouldn't be any cultural products in communist country, but the fact is that there were loads of fashion magazines since the trends are the least harmful thing for dictators.


Honestly, being an insider of publishing industry, these layouts and photos are actually much better than many we had seen on the zines. They are not out-of-date yet. The message is clear, the photos tell the stories directly instead of sending the ambiguous and mysterious  information to the readers.

shame on us, but why couldn't we make progress with more spaces of publishing freedom and why didn't we grow with time?
