U&lc Reinterpretation

U&lc Newsprint:
In this project, you will exercise layout skills, setting type styles, grids, flow lines, etc., in a large format newspaper print inspired by the first typographic publication, U&lc. Using primary resources, you can scan for imagery and use original prints in your interpretations.
After analyzing the article about Herb Luabin, you will be asked to create compositions that display that text and interpret 4 spreads (8 pages) from any original prints provided in class. Interpret each spread you choose through your lens. Be inspired, but do not replicate.

You will analyze the publications grid, formatting, and contents to determine your modern take on a typographic magazine.
