THANK YOU!!
Thank you Andy and Karen for an amazing first semester. I always enjoyed coming to class. I loved how each class was different and always hands on, allowing us to work and interact with others as well as learn new skills. Thank you for allowing us to grow as designers and giving us feedback and always encouraging us!
Reflective journal My aim was to learn new skills and develop skills I have already known. This course has opened up so many new doors, and have learnt many new skills and developed many more. E.g. what a zine is, how to design one and how to fold it. Other Skill I developed is prototyping, curatorial, collage, planning and layout. I discovered many concepts and ideas like how we can find typography out of anything, finding letterforms out of architecture and shapes. Another concept was Artist’s books; I really enjoyed going to the NGV and seeing the Melbourne art book fair. I loved how we were able to see different artists and there work and interact with them. Historical Movement that moved me was Bauhaus. I love how they pushed the boundaries of fine art for a “pursuit of radical modernisation” and where real problem solvers. A creative that inspired me is Sergei Sviatchenko, I love his work with collage and especially how he finds letterforms out of photographs and designs it in an abstract way. This lead me to start thinking differently about design especially the class that we did on college it helped us think out of the square. I would like to explore more with college as I think it is very interesting and you are able to incorporate many media and materials.
Friday 13th Lecture — Week 6.
We focused on the development of the grid used in early typography. We looked at a variety of works by Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli, Grancesco Torniello da Nirvana, Geoffrey Troy.
Amazing the mathematics used in creating the grid for the design of typography in the early days.

Over all I am really happy with what I have produced. When starting this assignment I had no idea of what a zine was or how I would design one! I am really happy with the over all design. You can see that I folded some of the pages, made cutouts, and on some of the pages I used the style of “exquisite corpse”, all to make an interactive design, and reflect on her well known collage style. I found that when design my zine, that due to the lower resolutions of photos they where pixilated when I printed at A3 and then folded it into A5. So I decided to print at A4 and then when folded it created a 16 page A6 zine. I love the smaller format of the zine as it is unusual and it has an the added element of cuteness due to the mini size.
Final design for my zine. SNEAK PEEK!

My interview questions and Kelly’s responses
Week 11 lecture We discussed the future of design and the role that designers play. The photo above is Erik Kessel’s ‘24 Hrs in Photos’. This demonstrates how we are constanly using the internet and how we are constanly unloading photos and seeing others uploads. She chose a day and from that took images and printed them out, that resulted in “mountains of photos, reaching from gallery floor to ceiling”. This makes us think, does our images have a lasting impression or does it get lost and consumed by our endless feeds? Check out her website: http://www.kesselskramer.com/exhibitions/24-hrs-of-photos
Week 11 This week we worked on our zine layout in indesign. I found that when printing in A3 and then folding it into A5 that due to the images being lower quality I need to print at a smaller size for there to be more clarity in the images. The lesson working in InDesign was really helpful as I am not that familiar with the software.
Week 10 The task was to make a quick “mock-up” of my zine. I want mine to be interactive with folded pages and cut outs. I am also thinking of trailing “exquisite corpse” on some of my pages in my zine. This was a great exercise as well we where able to talk to people on our table about or mock up and see what others are designing.
Sergei Sviatchenko collage work. Check out his website and his work http://www.sviatchenko.dk/
Week 9 In class we experimented with collage. We used some pages from magazines and from there we had to find letter forms from the models. This was inspired by artist’s M/M and Sergei Sviatchenko.
Love this work by Nana Utsugi for the ‘Ask me anything’ project「女の子, 2016.
I really like the colour scheme used throughout this zine design and the consistent navy colour used for the text. The red stitching looks very effective down the centre of the pages. The pop out pages / different size pages looks great too! LOVE THIS ZINE DESIGN!
I love this!! Love how she combines the red stitching throughout the zine and the effective colour scheme
I have been practicing makeing diffrent zine layouts, by cutting and folding some of the pages. Also combining some hand generated type in my zine and some simple line drawings, as Kelly likes to draw on some of her photos.
The is my final for “Hello my question is”. My question was “what is the nature of of design”. I chose to create this out of leaves and twigs from my garden. This connects with the nature part of my question. The background is ripped up newspaper, I did this as paper is made from leaves, and connects with the nature of it.
Week 8 In class we learnt how to fold to cteate a zine. This was so we can be fimilar with folding when we come to creating our final and the page set out. As well we saw examples of zines and how others designed them.
Week 7 "Typography is two dimensional architecture" - Hermann Zapf In class we where asked to make a type face put of buildings around RMIT. This was an fun task as it was makeing us look closer at the things around us as well we where able to walk arpund campus and find areas we had not been to before.
