Typography Zine: Exploring Layout and Design

Overview

Summary: Created a zine as part of a UC Davis typography course, focusing on layout design and typographic principles. The project emphasized the effective use of grid systems, type hierarchy, and visual balance.

Responsibilities:

Design Process

Using a monochromatic palette with one spot color, the zine displayed clean and structured grid to enhance readability and aesthetic appeal. Typeface selection and layout decisions were guided by the principles of classical typography.

Developed multiple prototypes, refined grid systems, and iteratively improved layouts based on instructor feedback. The final zine integrated cohesive spreads that balanced text and imagery.

Outcome

This project demonstrated an advanced understanding of typography and layout, which resulted in a visually engaging and professionally structured publication.
