GLITCH Magazine: DNA AR-powered Cover

Have you ever read a magazine so good or seen a cover so stunning that you wish it became real? Say no more! 👀 GLITCH Magazine, known as cutting-edge and futuristic, decided to bring life into its pages and collaborate with Cloves Filho (@cloves.ar), who perfectly understood the assignment.

Luckily for you (and us), we got in touch with both and GLITCH’s founder and CEO – Fernanda Ondarza Dovali. Let them take you through the creative process of these breathtaking 3D pages. 🦋

Cloves:

The cover of GLITCH magazine was one of the 3 AR activations that I was invited to be part of, this being the most challenging and pleasurable to do. After receiving the cover concept, I was very excited about all the creative possibilities of it, designed by the great artist @visualocto.

Unlike some artists, my creative process developed almost in my mind, and the thing that came to mind was animating the vertebrae that surround the model’s head. We incorporate real-time animation elements with custom shaders and custom 3D software animations, making the effect more immersive.

One of the biggest challenges was reproducing the glass effect of the vertebrae in Augmented Reality that corresponded to ambient light. Target tracking is one of my favorite features in AR, and I believe it is also one of the best when we are talking about print, in the case of the magazine it was a perfect combination between the disruptive technology of AR and the traditionalism of print.

Fernanda Ondarza Dovali – Founder & CEO:

In the intricate tapestry of the fashion world, GLITCH Magazine emerges as a beacon of innovation, a testament to the power of determined vision and an unwavering commitment to redefining industry norms. With the launch of GLITCH Magazine’s inaugural issue, we witness not just the birth of a publication but the dawn of a new era. Our industry, too often mired in nepotism and antiquated norms, has been in desperate need of a revolution, a breath of fresh air, and a commitment to unearthing and elevating the voices and talent of the future.

Armed with the cutting-edge power of augmented reality, GLITCH Magazine is poised to disrupt the status quo in fashion journalism. GLITCH is not just about glossy pages and pretty pictures; it is a living testament to the raw and unfiltered energy of emerging talent that’s often overshadowed by established names. Through the lens of AR, GLITCH Magazine extends an invitation to its readers to immerse themselves in a multidimensional experience that breaks boundaries, challenges conventions and gives life to the often overlooked visionaries and creatives that are the lifeblood of our industry.

In a world where ‘who you know’ has been given undue precedence, GLITCH unapologetically embraces the ‘what you create’ ethos. We, in the fashion industry, have long yearned for a platform that celebrates diversity, innovation, and artistic freedom. With GLITCH Magazine, we step into a new era where talent reigns supreme, and opportunity is accessible to all who dare to dream. The launch of the DNA issue is not just a milestone; it’s a manifesto for change. This is the start of a disruption and a celebration of those who are making their mark in the most exhilarating and unprecedented ways.

Today marks a seismic shift in the fashion media landscape. GLITCH Magazine’s ‘DNA’ issue signifies the roots of our journey – a journey fueled by a relentless drive to foster a community, nurture connections, and disrupt the conventional norms that have long plagued the fashion landscape. Within the pages of this debut issue, we embark on a shared journey, exploring the utopian dreams and stark realities that shape us. It’s an unapologetic showcase of our true selves through creative self-expression.

The path to this moment has been fraught with challenges and revelations. Our dedicated team, bound together by a shared passion for creativity, has unravelled the intricate web of connections that underpin the fashion industry. We’ve embraced its nuances and complexities, and it’s a privilege to present to you a magazine born from the heart of our collective endeavours.

Let GLITCH be the clarion call to a reimagined future of fashion, magazines, and cherished collectables.
