The second graphic communication rotation brief was short and simple, produce a zine of at least 10 pages, any content, any shape, any style.
A brief as open and accepting as the message behind zine’s in the first place, a simple and rough way of getting your message across to like minded people, through art and literature.
Zine’s are almost exclusively rectangular and read like a book, so I decided to mix this up and experimented with different usable shapes. I found hexagons to unfold perfectly into a circular pattern when joined at the correct edges so ran with this and took inspiration from the PeopleOfPrint Posterzines to use the back panel as a large format poster, with all the literature on the front.
Following the season I went with a collection of autumnal poems by famous authors for the content and matched them with simplistic symbolic prints, sadly with the limitation of time these prints had to be drawn instead.
The title ‘TYPO!’ as a simple irony to the beautiful poetry held within.
