Shark Evolution Zine & Real Sharks Website
Sharks are scary by how they look and their way of hunting for their prey. The Real Sharks is web campaign to encourage the users to learn and explore the lifestyle of sharks and clear up the misunderstanding they keep influenced from the spread of media. In addition, to the website, is the Shark Evolution Zine. It’s designed to display the timeline from the earliest shark to the most recent shark. Over 100 million sharks are killed by humans yearly. Some species of sharks are going extinct and we are letting our fears establish the happenings of the sharks. With informative text and fun facts about sharks, people won’t be as scared and see sharks are cool creatures in the water. Let’s dive in and let the sharks find us to their history.
I used bold font for the headings and the title of the zine to capture the attention that zine will share to the audience. However, I wanted to carry the theme of something lost or lost science files as it’s something that the public don’t really talk about that often. The body text are mono type to correspond with science theme. The use of boxes is to simply highlight and emphasize the different timelines the zine walkthroughs. The use of orange, black, and beige are to create a challenge to produce a product that can stand on it’s own without including many colors to absorb.
Conclusion
The zine and the website were challenging projects to produce, but had lots of fun on designing on a topic I used to have fear of, SHARKS! During my research phase, the more I learned about sharks, the more I want produce something that would bring awareness to these aquatic animals. It was out of my comfort zone learning about the sharks’ habitats and expanding my vision through the world of graphic design.
