Aparté #3

Aparté is back with an edition exploring the Mauritian collective identity and the elements that shape it. From the history of the sari, to Creole poetry, and even a piece of speculative fiction where animal rights reign supreme in Mauritius… the topics in this third edition make it a vibrant one indeed. 

Once again, we had the pleasure of showcasing and collaborating with a host of local talents, including Karen Pang (photography) and Thomas Jean-Louis (copywriting), along with our dedicated team of writers and translators. Together, they have helped to shape Aparté into the wonderful magazine it is today.

Azuri Destination Guide

Sometimes, thinking outside the box is the only way to go.

It’s with this mindset that we collaborated with BlueLife to create a brochure with a unique format for Azuri. The brochure captures the essence of the destination by presenting life in the Azuri village as a tourist “destination guide.” Within its pages, you’ll find unique encounters, slices of life, ideas for walks and activities, and some hidden gems.

To bring this project to life, Azuri gave us complete creative freedom. From the editorial strategy to topic selection, their trust and insights were instrumental in allowing us to bring a truly creative angle to this project.

Aparté #2

Get your copy! Get your copy! Aparté is back! 

Aparté’s concept is simple and yet oh so tantalising: it’s an invitation to press pause on the busy pace of life and take a break. Simple as that. So go ahead and stow your running shoes in the closet, turn your to-do into a “do later” (or do never!) and escape through the pages of the magazine here

There’s a special twist to this edition. Using the Artivive app, readers can scan the magazine cover (in its digital or print version) and be whisked away into a world of imagination and wonder. Sweet dreams of adventure, a deep dive into a world filled with colours, or an escape to the past or to a beautiful place in the present. Whether it’s the imaginary or reality that speaks to you… you’ll find it within this edition of Aparté. 

  1. Download Artivive with one click on Google Play or the Apple Store.
  2. Scan the cover of Aparté.
  3. Escape!

The inspiration behind this colourful cover, imagined by the artist Anthesis, is one of the themes discussed in the magazine in an article that will take you four centuries back in time to discover Mauritius when it was still an (almost!) deserted island.

As for the rest, we won’t say more. Open Aparté to explore its fascinating topics.

Happy reading!

A month and a half to produce a magazine? Challenge accepted! Working In close collaboration with OXO (never change a winning team!), tight deadlines and creativity were the fuel we needed to bring this amazing project to life.

Bo Plan

Have we said already that we A-DO-RE magazines? Over the last few months we’ve been lucky enough to work with two great teams at Novaterra and the Twögether agency. Together, we’ve produced this year’s edition of the Beau Plan journal, now simply called Bo Plan! This presented an exciting opportunity to re-think the magazine, and to allow its design and content to evolve.

The result?

A journal conceived as a stroll through the region, passing through the different neighbourhoods of Beau Plan, from Bois Rouge to Pamplemousses. The perfect way to soak up the atmosphere of this city in the making and the areas that surround it!

Full of beautiful photos, vibrant and colourful (thanks, Louise!), it’s a real pleasure to leaf through Bo Plan’s pages.

You’ll want to read and re-read anecdotes about the region and fascinating interviews that draw on the island’s French and Creole heritages, courtesy of a great editorial team!

In short, Bo Plan is a must-read – discover it here.

Set a course for Tamarin!

Cap Tamarin Smart City – part of the Trimetys group – called on In Other Words to create its quarterly gazette. We’re delighted to have worked on this exciting project!

From concept to design

First, we developed an editorial line that aligned with Trimetys’ objectives. We also advised on the magazine’s name, “Cap sur Tamarin”, its design and its structure.

Then, we managed the project from start to finish. This included creating a content plan, writing copy based on research and interviews, supervising the layout and proofreading the magazine before it went to print.

We’re very proud to present the first edition here!

Editorial project management: what we do best

In Other Words has produced magazines including Sundays, Luxury Indian Ocean and Kozé. From creating an editorial line to writing and layout, we manage the creation of each magazine until it goes to print.

Developing a magazine requires real expertise as well as strong writing abilities. From choosing the topics to creating a layout, framing the information appropriately and setting the right tone, it’s important to get everything right. In short, it’s best to call on an experienced team for support.

Luxury Indian Ocean #10

Like the rest of the world, Mauritius had a difficult year. But it’s also a model of resilience thanks to the fortitude, creativity and solidarity of its citizens. For that reason, Luxury Indian Ocean chose to dedicate its 10th edition to the island and its people.

In Other Words worked closely with Mediatiz to produce the magazine. From devising an editorial strategy and acting as the publication’s editor-in-chief to managing its contributors, producing content, translating several articles and doing the proofreading, we provided end to end support on this beautiful edition of the magazine.

A digital version is online here. Enjoy the read!

Heritage Stories

OXO tasked us with managing the editorial team to produce the fourth issue of Heritage Stories, Heritage Resorts’ beautiful magazine. We also helped identify potential topics and produced most of the magazine’s content.

We’re extremely proud of the end result: a magazine that is both visually stunning and whose articles are truly interesting. Topics include regional history, Heritage Resorts’ environmental commitments, Mauritian gris-gris (amulets to ward off evil), gastronomy and children’s literature…

Sundays #33

We served as editors-in-chief of issue 33 of Sundays. This quarterly magazine is published by leading Mauritian communications agency Evolution and is all about positive vibes. Since its refresh in 2019, Sundays has delighted readers with its upbeat tone of voice, unorthodox and occasionally tongue-in-cheek content and coverage of environmental issues. With its fun and modern layout and its gorgeous design values, it’s as refreshing as a great rosé on a hot summer’s day.
