During this course you will learn how to create a zine using handy items such as tickets, receipts, magazines, notes, photographs etc.
Course Description
Design Daily Diary is a short intensive course during which students create a zine using professional software. Students are taught scenario thinking while creating a multi page edition. The course includes two film screenings on the topic.
The aim of the course is to show that design can be created out of anything if the storytelling is right. To find an idea, it’s often enough to just look around and rethink our view of the things that surround us.
