The complexity of the current social scenario requires processes and methods that are more flexible and adaptable to the context, especially in graphic and editorial design, for they are very influential of the visual culture. The methodological procedures of this study consist of a literature review on design and project methodology, the study of three books about fundamentals and processes in graphic design, and the case study of the Galileu magazine's new graphic project. By following the magazine for ten editions, it was possible to understand its graphic redesign and its continuous design process, which spans across every new edition. Thus, we conclude that Galileu magazine’s new project is an example of contemporary work that brings together design, communication and visual arts in the materialization of a product that fully discusses science in order to provide comprehensive information to the reader.
