Task 2: Zig Zag Magazine

For the 2nd and final task, we were tasked to create zig zag book with magazine layout. The theme is free for our own choosing.

At first, during the brain storming session and early sketches, I decided to make a history magazine. But I can't digitalized the idea and not soon after, I changed the theme to video gaming.

Task 1: Magazine Centrespread

My classmates and I were tasked to create a centrespread design with our own theme of choosing.

The theme that I go for is Post-Apocalypse. Post-Apocalypse is a sub-genre of science fiction. It centers around human society and life after an apocalypse that fallen Earth. The catalyst of the apocalypse is typically portrayed as, but not limit to:

• nuclear warfare
• pandemic spread out 
• extraterrestrial attack
• impact event 
• climate change

The typography design that I'll implement in the centrespread is based on David Carson's designs for Ray Gun magazines.
