Abstract
This research is based both on a magazine project intended to disseminate Portuguese design and on the theoretical study that constituted the basis for its creation. It begins with the bibliographic research on the subject and continues with the analysis of reference cases and with exploratory surveys to the target audience, in order to justify the project pertinence and to verify the necessary conditions for its accomplishment. One of the greatest sources of knowledge in graphic design is found within its process, in the decision-making (with advances and retreats) inherent to the project, in the proposals and in its evaluation. In this article, we intend to introduce this process and the actual result of the project developed.
