Addis-Ababa Barge

BFA in Graphic Design — Graphic Design
Course:
GPRT-152 Communication Design 2: Information & Context
Faculty:
Guillaume David

Demon Subject

This zine explores how two contrasting ideas that are entirely unrelated can create something unique from the tension of the two colliding. The Zine consists of articles on both topics, imagery from Maya and about the Moors, along with personal explorations of trance and culture. I incorporated photography and film that I directed at my apartment and pool- featuring myself where I explore Maya Deren and her art philosophy and the exploration of trance and dance.
Learning Outcomes:
Professor Guillaume has taught me a lot about design, and print production, but more so, design thinking, taking the initiative about our design choices, and being mindful of our journeys as designers. I'm learning that weird is excellent and that beautiful things can come to fruition from the awkward and the unknown.
