Fukt magazine
After my crit, the main feedback was to experiment more with how I could navigate a sense of censorship within the format of my publication, and to continue to expand on my ideas so far. The crit also highlighted how the physical idea of getting the audience to match images together was a successful approach, as it allowed the response to engage the audience and kind of make the techno tourists work to learn and educate themselves.
An example of a publication that uses physical interaction is the cover for Fukt magazine; the cover uses a circular format where the user twists it to form the title. I was thinking I could use this method for my publication; through disrupting text and image through printing them on separate layers. This could create more of a playful and interactive user experience, as the audience would have to twist the circles to form the images and to be able to read the text.
Initial mockups
This initial mockup of the CD format concept uses 5 separate layers for each 5 rules and symbols. I wanted each layer to have a section of type, an image and its corresponding symbol and coordinates. I really like the concept of this for the publication, as the CD format both links to the context of techno/ music as well as physically censoring elements of the design. I want to explore this format further, through testing out typesetting and including more symbols. The main limitation of this idea however, is that it could be quite visually chaotic and unclear to the audience; the user experience might be slightly overwhelming as there would be a lot of info and elements for one disk. Maybe I could solve this issue by having 5 separate disks for each of the 5 rules?
