This is one of my favorite projects to date in this class. The most important thing that I can take out of this project is the process of creating things by hand. As a designer, it is important that we need to understand the basics of designing. In addition, software should only be seen as tools and tools only.
For this particular project, I chose Futura as my topic for research. Futura is an interesting typeface that has been inspired by my favorite design movement: the Bauhaus. I had decided to use multiples mediums for my zine because I wanted to have different textures. Typography is not a compelling subject when it comes to adding pictures and illustrations; However, having textures will give it a sense of crafting like old typo masters had done in the past. Personally, I think this project helped me to remember the history and characteristics of the typeface that I chose. It is a useful assignment for learning purposes, and to have a deeper insight into the technical side of the typeface. Overall, I would give myself an 8/10 because I had spent a lot of time on this project including printing, gluing, cutting, etc. I would not say that I have the prettiest zine of all, but I am happy with the outcome of mine.
