STUDIO: DISAPPOINTMENT ZINE PHYSICAL DEV

I began designing an initial layout for my zine using the content I had gathered and the idea I had developed. I selected a title typeface that would be placed on the cover and travel throughout each page as a reminder of what the zine was. The typeface was titled 'Grind Grotesque'. I selected this as  I felt it was a great visual representation of deflation, a feeling common to those who have felt disappointment. I included it on the cover alongside a definition of disappointment.

The dimension of the book were taken from a sized up version of my phone given the fact all the content was collected from this device I felt it was relevant to keep its shape. I sized it up slightly to create a more book like shape so that the whole thing wasn't centred around the idea of the phone.

I used several abstract typesetting layout to set the type for each apology making sure the reader would be taken on a difficult journey throughout each page, representing the difficult journey I travelled through within the large collaborative project. I made sure I censored any names included to avoid any further conflict.

After printing a cheap mockup of the initial zines layout, it gave me more perspective onto how it was read physically and how I could change some aspects of it. After reviewing this I went back and pushed the development of the layout further, playing with more typesetting options and how the reader could get lost in each page.
