Publication Design
Newspaper + Zine
For this project, I was able to focus on one designer whom I took inspiration from and turned a biography into an art piece. Paula Scher was my person of choice, I was able to gather research about her design styles and efforts and put them together in an art form. This project is a set of zines and a newspaper article to showcase her style and achievements as an artist. The goal for this project was to create a publication design that resembled the artist chosen while maintaining the aspect of the designer in the final product.
While designing I learned many styles and languages of the design world. I learned the aspect of language and the professional way to present yourself as a confident artist. Paula Scher has inspired me to take the project further to explore all branches of design she practiced. Each zine is filled with content related to the time era she was designing in., From student to employee, to CEO these zines cover her design life through a short story. Including studying, working in the studio, and becoming part of the corporate world.
The encouragement to create a newspaper came from the time period she was learning design. Back in the 1990s society did not grow up with computers or graphics. They had to create their own publication design and create juxtapositions to create images for their design process. I took a spin on that culture and created a newspaper article to showcase the time period and craft it took to be a designer. In conclusion, this project has taught me the varieties of design and what brings design to the corporate world.
