PLURAL, NEW ART DIRECTOR OF MAS CONTEXT

We are thrilled to announce that Plural, led by Jeremiah Chiu and Renata Graw, is the new art director of MAS Context. Having previously worked with them during MAS Context ANALOG, it is great to have the opportunity to establish an ongoing collaboration that addresses all the visual aspects of MAS Context.
Plural is a Chicago-based creative studio practice founded in 2008. With a focus on pursuing meaningful projects, Plural explores new approaches within the design process, experimenting in a wide range of media including print, web, video, sound, interactive and installation. They have received recognition by the Art Directors club, AIGA, The Type Directors Club, The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Communication Arts magazine, Print magazine, and How magazine among others.
The first change that you will see will be a new MAS Context website released early next month to coincide with our Spring issue, OWNERSHIP. Printed versions as well as other visual aspects of MAS Context will also be redefined throughout the year.
For more information about Plural and to see more of their work, check out their website.
