We are an independent magazine, a graphic laboratory, a print club and a university.
A magazine for visual inventors 
(Explore with us)

Since 2010, design students research, write, layout, and produce the monothematic bi-annual Some Magazine. It is a part of the experimental design course of Prof. Sven Völker at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. 
 
Some Magazine is published by Slanted Publishers and available in good book and magazine stores worldwide. In 2013 Some Book was published by Lars Müller Publishers, Zürich. Some Magazine received accolades at the Lead Award and at the Gernan Art Directors Club Award.
Some Laboratories
(Collaborate with us)
We specialize in the experimental development of visual worlds. Some call us graphic designers, we prefer to see ourselves as "visual inventors". We also do this for  brands and institutions ... and we can do it for you!
In the past we have successfully worked with companies and Institutions such as FILA Tennis Europe, Sachsenlotto, KaDeWe Berlin, Smart Automobile, Suzuki, Idee Shop, Rico, Absolut Vodka and others.
If you are interested in a collaboration with the Some Laboratories, please contact Prof. Sven Völker
