Chicago Zine Created by Sofia Clause following a trip to Chicago, Sofia selected 10 buildings and produced a spread for each, exploring distorted typography and imagery inspired by the warped reflections of the buildings and surrounding environment on the surface of the Cloud gate sculpture. The use of warped typography is very effective when in reference to the subject matter of the zine, and the minimal use of colour adds a interesting ascetic to the overall zine.

Modernist zine Showcasing a passion for 20th century architecture and design that they shared with an ever growing band of writers, photographers and designers they had made friends with through the society’s projects, events and campaigns. This zine is a perfect example of a modernist movement today, with a emphasis on expanding modernism where ever it can be found. The grid layout in this zine is a excellent way of conveying this information as it can be clearly let and the use of a single colour on the pages adds to the modernist ascetic of the zine.

The past Recedes zine This zine is a two part zine by Markos Zouridakis on the subject of telling a story, specifically the differing interpretations of memories. The content consists of archived family photographs, hand-drawn diagrams, calligraphic elements and collage. Thd overall aesthetic of the book is a beautifully messed view on how different memories can be interpirtated. The zine itself is beautifully crafted with two small zines combined and stitched together using a saddle stitch to combine the zines.
