Packed with cutting-edge collages, divergent typographic experiments, and a vibrant palette, PCM #7 weaves a compelling narrative through each visually arresting spread . The cover, a layered papercut collage by The Scissorhands (who also shares insights in an interview), sets the tone with warm, nostalgic hues and textural depth Highlights include a playful layout by an MFA design team from Montclair State University featuring Stephen Byram’s iconic CD-sleeve style artworks—complete with a 14-page spread crafted by students under Professor Anthony Inciong’s guidance .

PCM 7 upholds the founders’ mission to “meld art with design” and transport readers beyond digital noise, solidifying its status as an experimental biannual that’s as much art object as visual chronicle.
