DESIGN NAME: Daily Headlines
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Publication
INSPIRATION: As a designer, I struggle to associate the individualism of my work to larger socio-political issues. I feel it’s important to remember we are also participating citizens of the world, so I took my inspiration from world news. Reading the news everyday helped me become more sensitive to world events and to form my own perspective on them, as I tried to express in my typographic designs.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Daily Headlines is a project that re-imagines newspaper design using typographic illustrations. News headlines are sourced each day online and then expressed graphically with typography, latent with subtle commentary. Using the illustrations and the original news article, a printed newspaper was designed out of digital content.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: As this was a personal project and not one set out to solve any problems, one of the most difficult things was to come up with the concept and setting the parameters. Once I had decided to design a typographic piece everyday, the challenge was to commit to that and make sure I was able to capture the essence of the article in graphic expression.
