Typography Zine Experience Overview; Bank Gothic

This project had a rocky start to begin with.

My original typeface that I was eager to do my research on was Eckmann but after a good week of trial and error there just wasn’t enough information to fill up six pages of information.

Luckily, I was able to find another typeface that piqued my interest and that was Bank Gothic.  Bank Gothic has this strange futuristic feel that I truly can remember being used around me growing up.

I decided to only use green for the colour as I always associate green with sci-fi or futuristic things as to me green represents laser or the lights used intergalactic spaceships.

If I were to give myself a mark out of ten I would have to give myself a solid seven out of ten.  There are definitely a few visual errors that needed to be covered up in white out which tainted the picture a bit but aside from that I am at peace with this project and glad that I got the opportunity to learn more about an individual typeface on my own.
