THE PROJECT
[Client: Geneva Press Club]
[Date: Nov 2023]
The 2023 edition of the Swiss Media Book, an annual publication by the Geneva Press Club, underwent a complete redesign to modernize its layout and visual identity. Previously featuring an outdated and traditional design, the goal was to create a fresh, contemporary look that better reflects the dynamic nature of the media industry. The Swiss Media Book serves as a vital directory for media contacts across Switzerland and Europe, including radio and TV stations, newspapers, press agencies, and independent journalists.
Drawing inspiration from the Geneva Press Club's logo, the primary color was carefully selected to maintain brand consistency, while coral was introduced as a bright, contrasting accent, adding vibrancy and visual appeal. This combination created a dynamic aesthetic, infusing the publication with a fresh energy without compromising its professional tone.
In collaboration with the Freedom Cartoonists Foundation, this year’s edition also features a series of illustrations that bring creativity and lightness to the otherwise text-heavy content. These illustrations are set against a dots background, adding a playful, comic-like feel that aligns with the editorial theme while maintaining a sense of structure. This dotted design was also carried through to the cover, creating visual cohesion throughout the book.
The new layout balances functionality with engaging design, offering a user-friendly experience for readers while elevating the overall visual appeal of the publication. This redesign reflects the Geneva Press Club's forward-thinking approach, making the Swiss Media Book 2023 not just an informative resource but a visually compelling piece that stands out.
