Production Technology: The magazine was printed on special paper with texture, raw finish, featuring subtle specks resembling recycled paper.

For the cover, a metallic material was used to reflect the theme of electronic music, emphasizing the energy, movement, and dynamism of this special edition.
Design Challenge: One of the biggest challenges was integrating the rebellious and chaotic essence of punk into a clean and organized design. The main struggle was balancing experimental elements with readability, especially when working with white space. After much iteration, I achieved a fusion of bold, rebellious aesthetics with a polished and functional visual structure.
Research: The research explored the intersection of typography, art, and activism. Objectives included investigating how typography has historically been used in protests and subcultures, such as punk zines and graffiti, and translating that rebellious energy into a modern magazine format. Methods included studying archival materials, interviewing creatives, and experimenting with visual styles. The outcome is a magazine that challenges norms while showcasing typography as an artistic and cultural force.
Inspiration: Rebel Type draws from the bold energy of movements like punk, where typography became a tool of protest and expression. Inspired by the stages of design, evolution breaking rules, chaos, and reinvention, it reflects the rebellious spirit of typography as a medium of visual and cultural change. This project aims to celebrate and redefine the role of type in challenging conventions and fostering creativity.
Project Duration: The project was developed between August and October 2024 in Lima, Peru
Operation Flow: "Rebel Type" is designed to engage readers with its tactile and visual elements. As they flip through the pages, they experience bold layouts, unexpected typographic choices, and interactive features like pop-ups and fold-outs.
