> Looking into publications inn the 14th century (medieval britain) wanting to gain more information about the layouts relative to the time.
- thinking about how this could be applied to the project, typeface as well as layout, potentially colour scheme?

- Looking into medieval layout in publications (1), thinking of ways of tying it back to the history of the system, King George in the UK dictating the length of an inch.
- Looking back at the publications and blackletter was the most commonly used typeface of that time, wanting to incorporate this into the design, doesn't need to be so obvious but definitely needs to be included somehow.
- Using the publication layout to determine the poster layout is something that provides a structure to the text orientation.
- Tested this with just the modern sans serif typeface only, looked rather plain. Then with only the traditional blackletter typeface, this was again hard to read, especially in all caps, it didn't communicate the right tone of being used in modern day despite it's historic origin.
- Experimenting with the variations of this, the combination of the two that was most successful was to have the numbers in black letter and the text in the sans serif type (6) with varying widths - this comments on the scaling aspect as well as the history.
- Again experimenting with another layout.
- These will be good for the type posters, but does the zine need more image/texture, prevent it from being too flat?
