In my Design Systems course, the students decided to make a class zine as one of our projects. The prompt was to actively try to design something that would be considered "bad design". I had the opportunity to design the front cover and a full spread. Included are some banner ads intended for the web as mock advertisements for the zine. This zine was published through an on-demand printing service, Blurb, which featured this zine on their Instagram and through email announcements.
