Project Reflection

This project is one of my favorite projects, because it was a lot of fun exploring visual storytelling through a variety of mediums. I hope that I was able to capture the explorative nature of Weingart’s work—something that helped propel the era of New Wave and Swiss Punk Design. Weingart’s explorations with the legibility of text, typography, and textures made it a very interesting creative challenge to attempt to represent his unique style.
