About Us

"Art is a weapon that can heal wounds. In the face of war, we must use it to rebuild what has been destroyed—especially the lives of children." — Banksy

From the Greek megas (great) and foné (voice), the megaphone isn’t just a tool to amplify sound—it’s a symbol of collective expression and cultural resonance. Whether it’s rallying voices at a protest, energizing a crowd at a rally, or commanding attention in an iconic film scene, the megaphone carries messages that demand to be heard.

We are MGFCOL, a collective of graphic designers founded in Barranquilla Colombia in 2009. We started with the support of a local design studio, but over time, we evolved, and today we operate from the United Arab Emirates. For us, visual communication is not just a tool—it is our most powerful weapon of expression.

Inspired by this spirit, Megáfono Magazine emerges as the first digital publication dedicated to graphic and visual design on Colombia’s Atlantic coast. It’s more than an e-zine; it’s a cultural movement, a platform to amplify the voices of artists, designers, and creatives across the Caribbean, Latin America, and internationally. By showcasing bold talent and fostering collaboration, it aims to elevate local graphic culture and connect a vibrant community of creators.

In a world where design speaks louder than words, Megáfono Magazine celebrates the artistry, identity, and innovation driving cultural change. Whether you’re a graphic designer, illustrator, or cultural pioneer, this is your space. Here, every color has meaning, every line tells a story, and every idea echoes far and wide.
