SG MAG no. 3
Reinventing the rules of the game! Through cultural exchanges and technological advancements, humanity has transformed its communication methods, whether oral, written, printed, or digital. Voices have spread through various channels, becoming ever faster, more interactive, and more pervasive. In doing so, they have transformed the concept of space-time, significantly reducing the sense of distance between speakers. SG Mag 3 humbly explores the relationship between humanity and language in a special feature. A significant part of our social interactions involves sending and transmitting messages, receiving them, interpreting them, and re-broadcasting them. Today, machines are taking over forums, and humans are no longer the sole masters of discussions. Conversational agents are infiltrating every stage of the information chain, and sometimes, it becomes difficult to discern who is who between humans and machines. Many questions arise, and the very definition of what it means to be human is tending to be redefined.
Some see it as madness, a disaster, or a windfall!
In a world surrounded by uncertainties, SG MAG observes changes and tests new forms. This issue marks the end of SG MAG's digital and bi-annual formula. SG Éditions will take a step back, enter a chrysalis to prepare for its metamorphosis and offer other platforms, more in line with the needs of its environment. In the meantime, enjoy reading!
Thanks to the duo Alizée Hendrish and Milan Lalaurie, two first-year DN MADE Graphic Design students, for the layout and graphic conceptualization of this issue.

SG MAG n°2
The Beast hides. It isolates itself. It prowls. Its shadow appears in the light of the moon, for it is at night that beasts come out of their lairs.
Ah, yes... And what if the beast was hiding because it feared the gaze of others? And what if the beast hunched its back, lowered its head, and bristled its fur because your shouts frightened it?.
Why does the beast frighten us? It awakens the animality within each of us. So, we push it away. We reject it. We set aside the freak. They throw him out of town. They lock him up. So much so that this one, male or female, has only two options left: to embrace their role as a monster, to act sluggish and menacing, or to struggle, to shout: «I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am... a man.» But the moment the jester opens their mouth, their interlocutor is faced with a choice: this strange cry, should I pay attention to it or ignore it?
This special «Beast» issue is also an opportunity for us to look at the unknown with fresh eyes and to question everything a priori. Let's be a bit like Belle, the bookworm from Disney, who, under the snow, gets to know the Beast:
«There's something in his eyes
A bit fragile and light
As a hope
My friend, with eyes of silk
You smiled
But just yesterday, I didn't know»
And then, finally, let us dare to turn the mirror around and contemplate our reflection: to finally discover the true Beast.
«Could humans be so powerful, so magnificent, and at the same time so evil, so vile? To show themselves as great, noble, and sensitive, but also full of abjection and baseness?, Frankenstein's monster (penned by Mary Shelley).
Aaaargh!
Special thanks to Aurore Michel, a DN MADE 2 Graphic Design student, who has left her mark on this beast of a layout.

SG MAG No. 1
SG Mag: Rock ’n' roll or Punk? That's the question... or not.
Fill your playlist with music that makes you vibrate, choose your rhythm, your styles – for those who have trouble deciding – understand that sounds create images and that words resonate within us: that's good, but it's not everything!
In a school of applied arts and communication that has worked for several years to multiply partnerships with concert halls and performance venues, music is part of the fabric and permeates the creations of high school and university students. Music creates movement; design responds to contemporary movements, and everything communicates in all directions to a group of individuals. Hibernarock Festival, Iggy Pop concerts, immersive shows, but also a Comic Strip Festival and professional workshops: what do these actions have in common?
Meetings, exchanges, and doing things together! Because the more the merrier! Because a thousand heads are better than one! Because we learn better with our buddies! Besides, a two-headed graphic designer took care of SG MAG #1: thank you to Antoine Della Valle and Timothée Rouffy! So, now:
Let's dance! Let's rock! Let's do it!

SG MAG #0
With SG Mag, the SG éditions association aims to give a voice to the projects students are involved in. Correspondents from each class send information about them to a team of journalists, and the editorial team works hard to give a voice to all this bric-a-brac! And since we're a design and communications school, the layout is entrusted to a kind soul who lets their imagination run wild: for this issue 0, it's Louise Nunes, the frog enthusiast, who made the pages croak! ’Croak’ «Croak» to everyone, then! And happy reading! Click on the image to discover the magazine =>
