The Approach

Interpress magazine (IPM), a vintage Hungarian publication, was once known for its surreal covers that captivated viewers. Its revived version lost this artistic intrigue, shifting away from its bold visual identity. This remix restores the agazine;s surrealist appeal, using imagery to draw viewers in and recapture its original impact.

Research

Before the Shift

Surrealist covers from IPM’s original run, before it was rebranded and stripped of its visual edge.

Process

Mood Board

Early visual research exploring surreal forms, natural strangeness, and mythic tension to guide the new direction of IPM.

Final Deliverables

This cover puts a surreal twist on the classic dragon-and-castle motif, reintroducing IPM through layered analog and
igital techniques.

Reflections

Lessons in Revival

Designing this continuation of IPM helped me explore how visual identities evolve. I wasn’t trying to copy the past, but to channel its energy. Through surrealist forms and mixed media, I created something that nods to history while feeling distinct and present.
