Zine 0006 - Renaissance

The Ottawa Design Club

The Ottawa Design Club, known for uniting the local creative community, faced a unique challenge. With a diverse array of artworks at hand, they needed a zine that could not only showcase this variety but also tell a cohesive story, bridging the gap between the old and the new. The goal was to create an editorial piece that would elevate the artists' voices and inspire readers, all while maintaining a consistent narrative thread throughout the zine.

Izzy Poirier dove into the project with a clear vision: to design a zine that would respect the individuality of each artwork while creating a unified experience for the reader. The process involved careful curation and strategic design choices that would bring out the best in each piece.

The zine's launch was a resounding success, drawing a crowd of over 200 people and resulting in the best sales to date for the Ottawa Design Club. The event not only showcased the zine but also featured an exhibition of the artworks, creating a complete, immersive experience.

Feedback from the community was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing that the zine had exceeded their expectations. The design played a crucial role in this success, proving that thoughtful presentation can significantly enhance the audience's experience.
