The Big Idea

Iran's first magazine to embed augmented reality into its print pages, allowing readers to point their phone at any page and unlock video content, 3D models, and interactive brand experiences.

The page you hold is just the beginning of what you can experience.

01 Origin

Print Was Dying. We Gave It a Second Life.

In 2014, AR technology existed but had never been applied to Iranian print media. The technical challenge was significant, but the larger challenge was convincing advertisers and readers to trust a format nobody had seen before.

02 Vision

A Magazine With a Hidden Layer

Negarine Magazin was designed around one idea: print does not need to compete with screens. It can become the entry point to a deeper digital experience.

03 Impact
