Academic communications

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The magazine series Akademische Mitteilungen - AM for short - (not to be confused with the Akademie-Mitteilungen (1972–1978) published by the then rector Wolfgang Kermer as the university's official information publication ) is a magazine project from the Communication Design course at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart . The first publication “AM1 - Vakuum” appeared in 1996. Since then, a monothematic issue has been published approximately every twelve months. Supervised by Hans-Georg Pospischil, the series of publications offers students the freedom to make a journey of discovery in terms of design and content in magazine form.
