Aparté #3

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

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.

ORCOM

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

A wonderful collaboration with Parisian firm Pixelis opened the door to us working with the auditing and advisory firm Orcom. 

Orcom called on Pixelis’s branding expertise to reimagine their brand book, incorporating interactive elements to create a platform showcasing their work and helping to exchange ideas. The result: an elegant and professional layout that beautifully reflects Orcom’s values and essence.

We contributed by writing a series of texts for the book, including interviews with executives who trusted Orcom to support their company’s growth, articles analysing the impact of major societal trends on the communication industry, and branding texts describing the company’s vision and values.

This project took us beyond the lifestyle industries we are accustomed to, broadening our horizons. Thank you to the Pixelis team for your trust!

Azuri Destination Guide

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

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

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

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!

Unique Concept

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

Ten years… that’s a lot of bespoke kitchens! To mark this milestone, Mauritius’ exclusive kitchen design company, Unique Concept, called on In Other Words to collaborate in the production of an anniversary book. The result: a book celebrating ten years of design creativity – through ten portraits of kitchens, of course!

The In Other Words team managed the production of this book from A to Z. Starting with the creative and editorial concept and ending in production, via organising photoshoots, and writing the texts (of course!)… this beautiful project grew from our imaginations, with the support of the Unique Concept team.

Once we’d seen these ten amazing kitchens with our own eyes (and taken lots of photos from all angles!), it was time to start editing. First the texts, then the creation of the layout: choices of colours and typography, deciding where each photo should go, setting out the flatplan…

This kind of project comes with a real bonus – the opportunity to work with great collaborators! It’s always a pleasure to work with Eric Lee and his beautiful photos, and with Ludovic Barbot, who was responsible for the artistic direction and editing of the book.

Bo Plan

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

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.

The new edition of Luxury Indian Ocean magazine (edition 12) was released at the end of 2021.

Set a course for Tamarin!

Posted on | by Elena Boulart

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.
