I wanted my zine to have a coherent design with the topic chosen. Since my topic was The New Typography Movement, some of the elements I used were geometrical shapes, asymmetrical layouts, dynamism, capital letters, and a reduced colour palette. All of those are characteristics of the design pieces of this movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had never designed a zine; indeed, I think I hadn\u2019t even seen one before. I like the fact that after this project, I now know how to create a zine, which is probably something that I\u2019ll use in the future. This is because I personally found it fun to play with the general design and make individual pages that connect and because I think it is a useful tool for communicating information in an entertaining way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took me around nine hours to complete this project, but to be honest, I do not love the overall result of the project, and I would give myself a 6\/10. One of my mistakes was the size I chose, I noticed too late the size was too small to fit all the information I had, so I had to take a big part of that away. Also, most of the paragraphs do not look organized. I think I also used too much time researching. Another mistake is the fact that I didn\u2019t read the brief carefully enough, and at first, I did all the research and sketches for the wrong topic, so I had to restart. If I hadn\u2019t wasted all that time, I could have spent it on making a better brief (I am not counting the time spent in that first attempt in the 9 hours). Something I do like is the layout design, and I like to see the way it is all connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
