Web Press Vol. 1
Editorial Design
Many of the qualities we associate with digital mediums—transience, cheapness, piecemeal—also apply to newspapers.
Web Press is an ongoing exploration of this overlap by playing with the possibility of translating digital content (animated GIFs, CraigsList ads, Reddit threads, blog posts, YouTube videos, etc.) into a similarly inclined printed format to “stabilize” it. Interior spreads are designed by students in the workshop, and I design the covers afterward to capture the feel of the day. Copies of the paper arrive the following week.
Web Press Volume 1 was completed with undergraduate students at University of Florida in April, 2014.
