No. 7
Plastikcomb Issue 7 Plastikcomb Magazine’s seventh issue is a celebration of bold analog creativity and fearless editorial design. 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 . Contributions from notable practitioners like Maki Sato, Mario Zoots, Eric Heiman, SATURN, Jack Felice, Bob Aufuldish, Paola D’croz, and others blend interviews with tactile design touches such as overprinted text, vertical flips, and distressed textures, evoking photocopied zines of the ’90s. 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.
