Planting false Memories.
Fabricated Memory explores the fragility of memory and the extent to which our recollections can be shaped by others. It features an article about a man who, under pressure from psychologists and police officers, began to question his own memories, lost his mind, and eventually confessed to acting in the name of the devil. The magazine also includes an interview with a psychologist, who conducted a study investigating how easily our memories and thoughts can be influenced by others.
Design Concept
The design reflects the fragile and ever-changing nature of our memories. A classic serif typeface is paired with a blurred display font, creating the impression of memories fading, breaking apart or becoming distorted.
The black paper is inspired by the darkness we see when closing our eyes and trying to remember something. Black-and-white imagery reflects how colors often fade from our memories, while the emotions associated with them remain.
Page numbers shift position throughout the magazine, representing the small details in our memories that change over time or whose existence we begin to question.
A photographic series featuring rivers across Europe accompanies the editorial content. These are places where memories are made and landscapes that may evoke personal memories in the viewer.
The cover brings together all the images featured throughout the magazine, layering them on top of one another to represent how memories merge, overlap and become increasingly difficult to distinguish from one another.
