Capital Magazine was first published in 1962 and is Germany’s oldest continuously published business magazine. As a flagship title of Gruner+Jahr (today part of RTL Deutschland), it has long been a leading voice in German business journalism.

Guided by the credo “Business is society,” the magazine presents economic topics in their broader social context, combining macro- and microeconomics, finance, corporate stories, and lifestyle perspectives. Sections like World of Business, Invest, and Life ensure content is accessible to a wide readership across print and digital platforms.

Within the Visual Department, responsibility included translating the magazine’s editorial claim into a clear and engaging visual language. Complex data and business topics were made tangible, understandable, and compelling, creating a balance between clarity, relevance, and an enduring design aesthetic that reflects Capital’s modern yet timeless approach to business journalism.
