I made a trip down to the very ulu RJ Paper on Monday and was highly impressed by the wide variety of papers that were available. Alas, I picked three to do my print on, Munken Polar, Monet and Maple White.

These were the outcomes:

The Maple White and Monet were similar in off-white colour and in the end I will submit the Monet copy cause the lower grammage of 115gsm felt more organic.

The Sunken Polar was simply too white but I bought it just for variation.

This is the final layout I went with: 2D Zine (FINAL Demo)

Reflection:

The was a fun project and I couldn’t be happier with the brief and how this was the closing assignment for 2D Year 1. I enjoyed doing photography and stand by my design choice of the zine. By wanting to put a focus on the narrative and photography, I felt that any more design elements would simply by adding more ‘noise’ to the message and weaken it.
