Typography\/Zine <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my final history book assignment, I did a typography zine. I had trouble choosing what to make my zine about. Initially I was going to make it about key typographers of the time, then I changed it to exclusively Bauhaus typography since they were so iconic. I noticed that the zines done before me were super neat and very aesthetically pleasing, however they were rather text-heavy and I would find myself glazing over the text. I made sure to put in as many pictures as possible in addition to copy so that there could be \u2018breaks\u2019 from reading. I was inspired by how Grace printed and pasted a picture of Behrens for her zine, so I decided to incorporate printed images into my zine as well, which worked really great since I\u2019m sure my drawings could not produce the same effect.\u00a0I felt that putting straight text would be boring to look at, so I made certain words stand out by making them a different font, or put them into speech bubbles and boards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 4th page I\u00a0summarized the writing on that page in a meme format, which I hope was translated well. I did this because I wanted to present the information in a funny, yet understandable way. Nothing captures one\u2019s attention more than a meme, and it adds to one’s understanding if they understand memes.
