Dijon for Pitchfork
No joke, my top artist on Apple Music for this year is Dijon. Ive listened to Baby an unhealthy amount of times. This zine was so incredibly fun to work on, taking everything I learned from the last three issues to make this one even better. I worked with a few different elements to complement the writing and photography, and also to break some general rules/conventions i had set up for myself in the past zines. I messed with gradients, physical texture, stretching type and a ton of weird curves until I landed on something that we all felt was right on each spread.
For the texture on every page, I printed out the untextured spread, taped tracing paper to the scanner bed, scanned the printouts behind the tracing paper, retouched a bit, and placed those scans in layout.
