‍

Postlife is an independent magazine exploring how technology, community, and the human condition intersect, sometimes merging seamlessly, sometimes colliding in unexpected ways. Through essays and storytelling, the magazine invites readers to reflect on how technologies, or their absence, shape our identities, our relationship to nature, and even our understanding of death.This second issue continues Postlife’s critical and poetic approach to current culture. Mixing digital aesthetics with organic imperfection, it visualizes technology meeting the human condition: structured yet messy, artificial yet alive. The logo captures this duality. It isprocedurally generated rather than being hand-drawn, forming, shifting shapes that feel both biological and digital. Typography and materials echo the same contrast. Machine inspired lettering balances order and warmth , while justified text and loose letter spacing introduce tension. Uncoated paper roots the magazine in the tangible, while a metallic overprint adds a futuristic sheen.Postlife stands as a reflective object in itself, not just a magazine, but an experiment in how editorial design can capture the instability and curiosity of our time.
