This inspired me to try and design a cleaner layout that would feel unique but still be visually pleasing. I chose a humanist typeface as the body text (printed from my computer) to keep things tidy on the interior of the zine. I also included hand-drawn elements to mirror the human aspect of the subject I chose. I think bringing digital and analogue visual elements together in my design was a great choice for this topic. I applied the colors I selected for my zine consistently with the same rules (two colours per page) to bring the whole piece together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this project, I challenged myself to make the information enjoyable and functional. I imagined my audience might try the typefaces I suggested on spread #3 so I wanted to include information that could help others use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent 7 hours on this project from start to finish including research and playing around with the layout. I have to admit; I&#8217;m pretty happy with the design of my Zine. I think it&#8217;s cute and clean in the way I set out to achieve. Critically, I feel I could have spent a little more time in initial research to find a slightly more unique subject. I\u2019m pleased, but there\u2019s always room for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8.5\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Centaur_(typeface)\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Centaur_(typeface)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frutiger_(typeface)\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frutiger_(typeface)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterclass.com\/articles\/humanist-typeface-guide#4-attributes-of-humanist-typefaces\">https:\/\/www.masterclass.com\/articles\/humanist-typeface-guide#4-attributes-of-humanist-typefaces<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/technology\/typography\">https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/technology\/typography<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I created The Tiny Tome Of Humanist Typography to look like an old book to fit the subject and period of the early humanist typefaces.
