The communication judge called TAALGENOOT “an exquisite gift, one you cannot wait to open,” with the best Afrikaans writing inside, waiting to be savoured. Taalgenoot is built on a solid well-considered communication strategy. The editor and staff know its readers, know what to say and how to say it, and all of it is wrapped in images that tell its own story on paper. The language is superbly edited with each word, particularly in the headings, measured to maximise meaning and impact. The design is a ‘visual delight’ and uniquely executed with brilliant photography that elevates the magazine to a work of art. “Taalgenoot is a testament to the power of design and editorial ingenuity that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary”.
