Implementation

For an annual magazine that tells stories and focuses on people, authentic images are crucial. That's why photographers from the storyboard network regularly attend MVHS events and interviews to capture the lively atmosphere of the educational work.

Specially created illustrations, showing the MVHS locations in Munich and on Lake Starnberg, among other things, provide additional visual variety in the magazine.
