PROJECT 3

Create a small chapbook or “zine” using precisely none of your own content. Beg, borrow, steal. Do not write a single word, do not take a single photograph, do not draw a single line. You may re-contextualize / re-purpose / re-engineer the content you gather using the applications we have explored so far in this class (or others as you see fit). Use or undermine typographic conventions, and abide by or abolish principles of “good design,” as you prefer. There should be a reason for which of these paths you take, and this reason should be linked to your understanding of the content you have chosen to re-present.

Note that you should make at least one printed edition of your project (if you want to make more, that’s fine, but not required); it can be in color or black and white, as you prefer. While you may use physical manipulation of media (collage, photocopying, etc.), you should also be sure to incorporate the tools and techniques we have explored throughout the semester, including Adobe InDesign (as well as Illustrator / Photoshop where necessary).
