Nice interview with Layla Tweedie-Cullen about her motivations in designing issues 3 & 4 of Z/X – an arts journal Jim brought me from New Zealand last year and that I would dig getting stateside.
In response to the theme ’situations’, my initial idea was that the signatures would be rotated during the binding process, resulting in a variety of versions of the publication. I initially liked the idea that individual contributions could potentially be displaced or split, so for example, the end of an essay might appear first, and the rest later on in the book, the contents page last, or the cover in the middle (to name the most obvious). This turned out to be too difficult to achieve, I couldn’t find a printer who would do it for a reasonable price, and because the content was so diverse it resulted in too much confusion. Instead, I used a gradient which worked in a similar way.
