For my thesis project I set myself the goal of creating a collection of zines on emerging topics in a real-time publishing fashion. With this explorative project I want to investigate the process of rapid design, producing and publishing and how the dissemination of enjoyable printed matter can shift discourse. For the theoretical part under the title „ADVENTURES IN EXTREME PUBLISHING- RESPONDING IN PRINT“ I want to explore five main concepts:
→ Independent Publishing and Alternative Media
→ The designer as producer/author
→ Urgent publishing
→ Post-Digital Publishing
→ Design as a Process / Algorithm
