Plastikcomb Magazine
ISSUE
No. 2

Plastikcomb Issue 2 released in 2021, continues the publication’s commitment to experimental editorial design, embracing a chaotic and abstract style reminiscent of 1990s magazines like Ray Gun and BlahBlahBlah. This 144-page issue features a diverse array of artists, including Ed Fella, Alex Garant, Patrick Onyekwere, Taylor A. White, Iain Perry, Prentler, Tamar Cohen, Kareem Rizk, and Anthony Grant. The magazine’s design is characterized by its unconventional layouts and integration of various artistic forms, such as collage and comics, creating a visually dynamic reading experience. Notably, the issue delves into the story of Dusty, the magazine’s mascot, adding a narrative layer to its artistic exploration. Produced through a collaboration between Aaron L. Beebe and Thomas Schostok, with contributions from the Montclair State University Visual Communication Design Club, this issue exemplifies Plastikcomb Magazine’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of print media and celebrating the intersection of art and design.
