Zine Project Rationale

I spent about 6 hours creating my zine from the research stage to completing my zine booklet. I quite liked researching about my topic, just because this is a typeface that I’ve always wondered about its history and why it’s been used so much. When it came to creating the final product, composing it all together felt enjoyable overall. The small-sized pages enabled me to creatively think about how I can effectively get my message across while still fitting the information I needed in a limited box. Theme-wise, I made my zine feel very playful and fun due to the nature of Cooper Black looking similarly. I used a lot of color combinations and played with the placements of my type to further evoke this mood. I think this decision brought out how versatile and fun Cooper Black is.

Overall, I would give myself around an 8/10.
