Typography Zine project
I picked the Baskerville typeface for my Zine because I’ve noticed that anytime I write something on my laptop, I’m drawn to how elegant and timeless the Baskerville font appears. At first, I thought I’d chosen a popular subject and should opt for a different typeface. However, after doing some study on this type, I discovered that the origin story and growth of the font, which was inspired by old styles, was rather fascinating.
When I pick a typeface to write with, I now research it to learn about its history as well as where and how it was utilized when it was initially developed.
I would I’ve myself an 8 out of 10 since I feel I put in a lot of effort to research, understand and implement the zine however I feel I could have spent more time working on the layout design and my handwriting. I spent approximately 6 hours including my research.
