A magazine transformation spanning print, digital, editorial content and podcast production through Arroz Con Pollo.
Print and digital transformation
The studio’s October 2019 brief covered a complete digital and print overhaul. Zahra Sebti designed the magazine’s new print identity beginning with issue 52. During the pandemic, issue 53/4 was released online for free.
An audio archive of art
Arroz Con Pollo created, recorded, produced and distributed the podcast hosted by editor-in-chief Meryem Sebti. Remote production preserved audio quality during social distancing. Its identity and social content extended the magazine into an audio archive of Moroccan and African art.
The New York Times
On 12 August 2020, Diptyk’s Instagram account, @diptykmagazine, was included in Siddhartha Mitter’s “Five Art Accounts to Follow on Instagram Now” in The New York Times. The recognition concerned the magazine’s account and the editorial and digital work Arroz Con Pollo built for it.
