(22)Vintage Cars Mag: a digital zine with a keen eye on classic shapes

The research started with selecting photo content. It was an easy task because I already had a collection of favorite cars on Pinterest.

Interestingly, most of the photos showed cars at an angle, which fit perfectly with my concept of using a grid of diagonal lines that I developed based on the van de Graaf canon.

At the stage of developing graphic elements, I wanted to remain as open as possible to new solutions. I didn't try to stick to a specific font or color, because each car has its own shape and character - that's what I wanted to express.

However, there were a couple of constant principles: big type, asymmetrical layout, and desaturated colors.

My task was to make the static design breathe with dynamism. To achieve this, I used asymmetry and tried not to rely on a repeating layout system.

The consistent grid with an 8px module allowed me to maintain unity while remaining free to choose solutions.

At this stage, I have developed several experimental layouts that I want to unify and present as a full-fledged digital zine.
