My Final Zine (four 5.5”x 7” spreads) Materials: paper(printer, tracing, and palette), paint pens, red and white gel pens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Calson Egyptian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For my zine, I wanted to create a clean and informative layout to highlight the simplicity of Caslon Egyptian.<\/strong> I knew I wanted to research a san-serif font and I was drawn to the typeface for its modern look. I was also surprised to find it was not a widely known typeface and due to its unpopularity, there was not a large amount of information that I could choose from. But I found that helped in narrowing the 6 facts for my zine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added supplementary hand-drawn images to aid in telling the story but not too many images since I worked on a smaller scale. For colour, I chose to go for a neutral background for my spread to give a sort of vintage look, while also enhancing the writing in blue and red. Here is a small mood board I created with images I found during research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my first ever zine I am quite proud of what I created and I had a lot of fun in the process by using colour and incorporating textures. I especially liked the front page as I cut out the “IV” and had a textured yellow page of a vintage book that peeks through the letters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said that I feel as though I did the project justice. Although did my best in making the composition look neat and aligned I think I could’ve made certain areas a bit more straight. I also think that implementing a more captivating story would’ve made the piece flow better. Overall, I would probably give myself an 8.5\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
