PPP 2- STUDIO BRIEF 2 - Zine Type

The type on the pages inside the zine need to be very readable as this is the main content of the zine, this is as the purpose to communicate the artist's opinion on with method design they personal prefer for typographical design/production therefore the audience need to be able to read the quotes clearly. 

The typeface that is chosen for the pages need to compliment the work, the different style as well as not distract for the imagery. As the type/style in all the imagery content is vastly different it'll be hard to find a typeface that works with all the different type, therefore the type thats choice so be simple yet not distracting therefore a san serif typeface would be more suitable. 

To add to the hand made nature of the book first hand drawn typeface where experimented with, this was to link to the style of most of the imagery which is hand made or imperfect as well as to link to the concept of the zine. 

 after this was experimented with it was found that although it complimented some of the typographic work it contrasted come of the other content of the pages as well as not being suitable for body text.

After hand letting was experimented with Vignelli 6 typefaces where experimented with, this is as these are seen as the most suitable typefaces as well as famously readable. As the manual aspect of the design cannot be represented via the body typeface, the digital aspect will be portrayed therefore the focuses will be around using sans serif typefaces more as these are associated more with more Digital design. 

Helvetica, simple yet to overly simple 

use Helvetica, 60 kerning, bold as the header 

Bodoni, contrast the bold header text yet adds age to the design due to traditional nature 

futura works well as the body as it's legible yet reflect the modern casual digital aspect 

Futura and Helevtica Bold have been selected as the final font choices, these are the 2 sans serif typeface of Vignellis 6 Basic typefaces therefore reflect the intended more contemporary digital aspect of the zine as well as being legible as the smaller page size.

As the page design of the zine now reflects the digital aspect of the publication there will be experiments into ways the manual aspect can be added, how the page design can reflect both the intented concepts equally.
