Notes
The format for the covers of Casabella magazine that was designed by Paolo Tassinari in 2017 is characterized by an established layout of the masthead, supporting lines, and barcode. All the other elements changes, while the header always stayed in position. (A few times the barcode moves on the cover surface, becoming an integral part of the cover image.)
As typical to the covers designed by Tassinari for Casabella, each cover offers a graphic interpretation or a visual metaphor of the contents of that issue, or simply of the issue’s number. Sometimes that is done in a more figurative way—using photography or illustration—while in some other case through the use of typography only.
The format was consistently used until the end of 2019. [NMM]
