1. Concept
Lorem Ipsum — a media outlet covering branding and design through articles. The goal of this media is to foster a more conscious perspective among the audience regarding visual design and branding—helping readers move from merely consuming beautiful images and collecting references to understanding why a project is structured the way it is and what decisions underpin its visual language.
Format and Editorial Principles
The primary platform is Telegram. Twice a week, an article of approximately 2,000–3,000 characters is published, featuring a title, a lead, several thematic sections, and a citation of the original source. If necessary, the text is supplemented with 2–4 images of the project, complete with captions. Each installment addresses a specific question regarding the solution, its objective, and its context.
Permanent features
Case Study Analysis — an in-depth look at a specific identity or visual system. Book and Practice Review — research, publications, and experimental methods. Authors — professionals in the fields of design and art. Industry News — new technologies, methodologies, and, when necessary, an analysis of their pros and cons and user feedback. Digest — job openings and events (a situational publication, likely monthly).

5. Proposed Processing
Case and metadata extraction Monitoring new publications, obtaining links and announcements Searching for new projects and subsequent authorship verification Searching for works and analyzing selected publications Collecting announcements and manually verifying relevance
6. General Data Processing Scheme
Lorem Ipsum—an editorial media outlet with partial AI automation, not a channel of fully generated publications.The machine collects, classifies, structures, and assists in formatting the information. A human chooses the topics, formulates the analytical stance, vets the content, and makes the publication decision.
