The stereotypical student stretches out a too-short paper with wide margins and large type sizes. But this trio of graphic design students from the University of the West of England had so much material after working on a professional practice project, they made a zine with the extra material, which includes interviews with designers and artists who specialize in editorial design. It’s entitled “Fond of Editorial Design,” and although it began life as a printed piece, Issue 1 is now available digitally.
The ambitious students behind the zine — Sophie Balch Naomi Dodds, and Fanny Wacklin-Nilsson — plan to release Issue 2 in a few months. To be notified of its arrival, go to https://issuu.com/fondzine/docs/fond_issuu and click the Subscribe button. (It doesn’t cost anything.)
While editorial design and printed magazines may seem old-school, these students are firmly planted in the modern world. Proof: There’s also a
