DP5 - Experimental Zine

New Direction 

Our project took a very different turn and in an effort to focus more on experimenting with type, I decided that I should work toward creating a type classification zine. 

I based the text roughly on several articles I read from www.ilovetypography.com and Adobe. I categorized the type classifications in to the following:

• Blackletter
• Humanist
• Old Style
• Transitional 
• Modern
• Slab Serif
• Decorative
• Script
• Variable

I started in InDesign and created the following layout:

After printing a mockup at full size I determined this layout was too stagnant and definitely not experimental. I Opted to take the whole design into Adobe Illustrator to allow me to "play" a lot more and be bolder in my experiments. I could still use style sheets and most of the great typography tools that exist in InDesign. 

This is the progression of the design:

Perfect Paint 

Create a folio showing the process of efficiently painting a room and how the process can be simplified and streamlined.

Imagery and paint tools can be used to make letterforms that give tips and pointers to help a person get the best results, not waste time, paint, or other supplies. 

The narrative follows a typical arc in that it involves a lot of preparation, then things start moving quickly as pain starts being applied either with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Then the cleanup happens quickly thanks to the prep and tips serving as the falling action.
