So I took my own footage from a PSA project I did last semester about Depression and I sped it up, added Fuck Up by Tana Mongeau over it, and had it reverse the cycle back to bed, then start it again at the end. I think the song fits the message well and speeding up my footage helped keep up the idea of going through the motions. I reversed it mid way through because I wanted to give the idea of like an endless cycle of some sort.

CUT - Part 1

[sxngpxiyaa]

• Ask me Anything •

Here is my final zine !

This time my cut out on page one and the image on page two came out aligned and I was able to achieve the desired effect. The idea behind this cut out is that the normal world we live in is filled with colour but if you look through the eyes of my creative and immerse yourself into his world it is black and white as it represents the moody emotional tone of his music.

In relation to this idea I titled my zine “LAYERS” and designed my entire zine with shades of black and white.

To emphasise on the theme of “LAYERS” I used the effect of different sized papers in my design and printed it on tracing paper to give it a different texture and look. The reader can feel the difference in texture and interact with the book by peeling through the transparent layers.

As mentioned in my previous post I implemented the technique of negative space while designing my layout. It gives a simple yet dramatic impact. This embodies my creative best as he is very reserved and simple as a person but his strong vocals and music leave a strong and dramatic impact.

Overall I had so much fun designing my zine and interviewing my creative but I can’t say I’m not relieved to be finally done with this ! :)

Progress Report:

I’m totally getting ahead of myself here, but all I can think about right now is how I’m going to bind my zine. Here are some photos I’ve found for inspiration. Right now I’m thinking a stitched spine would work best for displaying all the pages of the zine fully.

I’ve also been considering methods and medias that I can incorporate with my zine. The week 9 workshop was really helpful for getting me to consider the effect texture can have on a publication - collages have such a great, hand made, torn feeling. I’m thinking about spray painting with stencils to create the cover of my zine, as my interviewee often uses this method in her artwork.

Bukan ini mauku. Memeluk kamu yang sekedar bayangan, sungguh aku tak mau. Bukan ini mauku. Menyapamu yang terpisah jarak hanya dari saling tatap di layar 5 inchi. Sungguh, kasih, Aku ingin kamu disini. Berbicara tanpa jeda dan jarak. Sungguh aku ingin kamu. Menemani saat tangisan tak mampu lagi membuatku merasa lega. Sungguh aku ingin kamu, yang kupeluk nyata. Lalu kuhirup aroma parfum yang menguar dari kemejamu. Datanglah. Aku ingin tangan kita saling menautkan satu sama lain. Menggenggam tanpa ingin melepaskan. Datanglah. Aku lebih butuh kamu dibanding kalimat-kalimat penenang yang kau ucapkan untuk membuatku sabar. Sungguh, bukan ini mauku menjalin kasih terhampar batas bernama jarak. #gambarbercerita #project3 #novelisnova #tumblr #writtertobe #writterwannabe #kamu Pict source: pinterest.com

Jan Tschichold - The New Typography

Published in 1928, Tschichold’s book has been recognised as a staple for graphic designers and typographers. Tschichold clearly communicates his distaste for symmetry, but I found it interesting how he went on to break his own rules when he designed the famous Penguin book cover.

Ask Me Anything update:

Artist Wendy Murray has agreed to answer my questions :D

I plan to present the interview as a zine, and I wonder how I can incorporate (or break) some of Tschichold’s symmetry rules. Here are the questions I have sent Wendy Murray:

What has been the most exciting moment of your career?

You often use Letraset in your work. What draws you to such hands-on media as opposed to more modern digital techniques?

Social commentary is a common theme in your artwork. Why do you feel that questioning social and political current events is important in art today?

How did you come up with the concept of Mini Graff and how is she different from Wendy?

As Mini Graff you present yourself as a street artist, what do you see for the future of street art?
