Скамија (read as skameeya) is a high-school magazine from the "Jovan Jovanović Zmaj" high-school in Novi Sad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasium_Jovan_Jovanović_Zmaj
One of our main worries was the lifespan of the magazine. Usually, students skim through and throw Skamija away, even though they paid for it (tuition money).
We also had to make copies, and our budget was severly limited.
That's why we went with glue and thick, matte paper instead of glossy copy and clips.
It worked out great: students felt the weight of the magazine because of the thicker paper (and said they liked how it looked) so they couldn't bring themselves to throw it away.

An origami paper (80g) was supplied with instructions on how to build a flying bird. The point was to pull the paper bird by it's ends so that its wings flap.
The page on the right are the contents.

yes, the upside-down page is on purpose.

Right below ПРЕПОРУКЕ, there's a small sentence:
"there is no left trace of them, and even barely their last breath..."
Sounds funky, but it's better in Serbian.
What it means is that the design from here on becomes very scarce. No more page ornaments and such. Only headlines, body text, and a few images.
Below "УМЕТНИЧКЕ СТРАНЕ" reads:
"In the end all that was left were fading shadows and silence. Maybe not even that."
Birds were drawn by Teekatas as well. http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com
