Zine - Week 8
This week Summer and I were the editors again. Because of the weird circumstances we life in these days I had the idea to make a interactive zine this week. So it will not be printed with the riso printer, but it will be shown on a website. On the website you can hoover over or click on the zine pages to see a interactive change.
We made this notion page: https://www.notion.so/Week-8-Dezine-toolkit-56c8d7410b4b4cf295017ebebbdd5cb3

The final week of the minor its first period went a bit chaotic. We had to work with electronics again and not everyone in the minor was evenly skilled. But that doesn’t have to be a negative thing. My new experiences as designing as a maker have thought me that with everything you make you will have to look at it like it’s something brand new. Don’t ever think you know how the process or the end product will look like, go in open-minded and don’t rely on your skills.
Ultimate Design toolkit for every kind of designer:
Don’t ever think you now everything.
See everything as something new. Every concept or product has its own reason to exist, so don’t compare it to previous projects you had.
Do good research: Why is it a problem? What does the target group think about the problem? Are there any empathic solutions? Will my design make the problem worse or better for the target group? What are the effects for the stakeholders who are indirectly involved?
Just do good research, so you’ll know that your product/concept will be worth making.
Test everything! If you don’t test your concept/product it becomes garbage immediately.
Start sketching ideas and don’t stop at 30 ideas. The best ideas come after 150 ideas.
Brainstorm together.
Make the design understandable for your target group and make it usable.
Simplicity is (often) key.
Love the things you make and show it.
