Rodrigo Sánchez is Art Director of the Magazines Division of Unidad Editorial (Spain).
A journalist and a newspaper graphic designer, Rodrigo is, above all, the former. He has always thought that journalism is the essential foundation upon which Mass Media can transmit reality and that art & design are an accessory capable of creating an attractive and unique reality. His work is the masterful convergence of both disciplines: journalism and art.
With a journalist degree by the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, Rodrigo is born, lives, dreams and works in Madrid, his hometown Metrópoli from which the inspiration surges.
Prior to his arrival to El Mundo newspaper, Rodrigo worked for other national spanish newspapers. He began his career as a graphic designer for the Madrid's ABC newspaper, from there he moved to the financial newspaper Cinco Días, and later to the weekly magazine Cambio 16; he later worked for the financial magazine Mercado (all of them in Madrid, Spain). But it wasn't until his arrival to the now defunct newspaper El Sol in 1990 that he unleashed his creativity under the guiding hand of those he considers his mentors: Eduardo Danilo and Roger Black. In 1992, he was contracted by El Mundo, where he worked and developed at the side of his admired Carmelo Caderot. El Mundo is currently one of Spain's leading newspapers and the World's leading e-news website in Spanish language.

This is the moment of Rodrigo Sánchez's true professional evolution that, as the years go by, will drive him to international acclaim and widespread recognition. As a result, the Metrópoli covers have been defined as one of the 25 Influential Moments in News Design. Furthermore, Rodrigo is the only graphic designer in the World to have been awarded two years running the SND's Best of Show award (Society of News Design), considered the design world's equivalent of the Pulitzer.

To this we must mention other prizes and awards to his work in different SND, SPD (Society of Publication Designers) and TDC (Type Directors Club) publications.

Vijf jaar geleden startten Astrid van der Hulst en Irene Smit samen het blad Flow, omdat ze het tijd vonden voor wat anders. Na beiden jarenlang voor tijdschriften gewerkt te hebben (Van der Hulst kwam via het Haarlems dagblad bij Sanoma, waar ze diverse journalistieke functies en chef-functies vervulde bij onder meer Yes, Cosmopolitan en Marie Claire, Smit was werkzaam als tekstschrijver en redacteur bij een tekstbureau, maakte sponsored magazines, werkte als beauty en lifestyle editor en was chef reportage bij Marie Claire), kregen ze binnen Sanoma de kans iets nieuws te beginnen. Ze gooiden de bestaande bladenmakerswetten overboord, volgden hun gevoel en inmiddels is dat gevoel voor de veranderende tijdgeest succesvol gebleken. Flow is inmiddels flink uitgebreid en blijft groeien. Naast de 8 Nederlandse edities, zijn er jaarlijks 2 internationale (Engelstalige) edities, 4 specials, een agenda, scheurkalender, en diverse stationery producten (onlangs brachten ze een serie uit met het Rijksmuseum).  De onlangs gelanceerde Flow iPad app werd binnen een week 4000 keer gedownload en kwam op nummer 1 in de newsstand van de app store. Van der Hulst en Smit deden beiden de Frederik Muller Akademie in Amsterdam.

Since the release of the magazine nearly 10 years ago, Glamcult Independent Style Paper has developed itself from an edgy underground tabloid to one of the leading magazines in Holland and Belgium when it comes to fashion, music, film, art and todays youth culture. Glamcult offers its readers articles on and interviews with the hottest fashion designers, artists, musicians, actors and photographers on a monthly basis, looking way beyond main­stream culture.

They are the innovators and create their own world. Glamcult just gives them a broad impression of what is going on in the frontlines of fashion, art, music and film. We select, create and wonder around in todays avant-garde cultures and present it with strong visual language, attractive content and an expressive imagery. This mixture gives Glamcult an unique position within a young and innovative group of readers.
