As such, we are revising that project, revamping into an Experimental Type Zine, comprised of type and graphic elements only, color and texture, with little or no object-based imagery. In other words the message will be driven by type and supplemented by imagery, as opposed to being driven by images and supplemented by type.
Check out the following pages in your textbook, New Typographic Design for examples of
type-driven design solutions:
pages, 32-41; 44-45; 53-54; 63-64; 66-67; 99-100; 142-145; 150-153; 166-167; 186-187.
This means you will need to write and or gather at least 500 words of text for your book ASAP!
The format of the book will remain the same– 12 pages, 6"w x 12"h.
Remember this is an EXPERIMENTAL TYPE class, and this project is an EXPERIMENTAL
TYPE Zine!
The revised schedule for the project will be as follows:
• Full text Block-in due Thursday, April 5th.
• Publication grid, message/typographic hierarchy, and graphic standards, along with a
sample two-page layout due Tuesday, April 10th.
• Full publication rough due Thursday, April 12th.
• Full publication comp (laser dummy) due Tuesday, April 17th.
The client just called and moved the final project due date to Tuesday, April, 24th.
There will be NO formal class held Thursday, April 19th so you can prepare for the 24th.
• Final printed publication is due
Be sure to also post the final experimental zine on your blog.

If you are having a problem revamping your existing zine, then I suggest you create a new
zine with Type Classification as the subject, using text from the following handouts.
