DP5 - Experimental Zine

Our next type class project is to create a zine, or multiple-page publication on a subject of your choice. The objective of the assignment is to communicate information in a multi-page document, using type and imagery created by you in an expressive and experimental way.

The first step in the project is to choose a subject that you are knowledgable and interested in, then write a short narrative content brief and/or outline.

This is due on your blog the beginning of class, Thursday, March 22nd.

The second step is to research the project and write a project brief, create an image board, and envision the design concept through a series of quick sketches. Using your research as a basis, and your content outline as a guide, write the finished text for the document. If you can, you may also want to make a list and preliminary morgue of images as well.

This is due on your blog the beginning of class, Tuesday, March 27th.

The design of the zine will be spread over three-weeks. As such, the success of this project will consist a large part of your overall class grade.

The final critique scheduled for Tuesday, April 12th.

The final printed Zine will due Thursday, April 17th.
