Zine & Travelogue Statement
For the neighborhood research, our group was assigned the East Village. We had to explore the neighborhood in regards to its history and atmosphere and pay attention to the senses we would experience it with. Based on our experience and the research, we then had to design a magazine as well as produce a travelogue so we could share this experiences with our peers. Our goal was to design the magazine and the video, in a way that it would resemble what we as a group perceived from the East Village: A creative neighborhood, where people can be themselves.
As a group we decided to pay particularly attention to the development of the East Village in consideration of its colorful and changing history. Additionally, we decided to assign every sense to one chapter of the magazine and the travelogue, depending of its suitability to the specific topic. The history chapter for example, is also about sound and hearing. Aa result of different immigrants, artists and musicians coming to the East Village, “sound” was one of the aspects that underwent noticeable change. This is why, we created a magazine that gives the reader a unique and sensual experience of the East Village.
