WAW Journal

Abstract

WAW journal is a bilingual, biannual, critical discussion about graphic design through politics, philosophy, economy and culture. Itʼs political, has a stance and tackles social and political issues from the middle east through graphic design.

The main purpose of the magazine is to shed light on the field of graphic design and unravel its second layer. WAW was created to show how graphic design affects other fields and could be found everywhere in our daily lives.

It pushes the readers to question what is being told and what is actually happening in the world; how we perceive the rest of the world and how the world perceives us. It opens a dialogue between the writers and readers, and also, the images being a dialogue for us to raise questions.

In my opinion, graphic design could be very political, and could be influenced by so many things, especially politics, philosphy, economy and culture, hence why waw was created.
