CONCEPTUALIZATION AND DESIGN BY LUIS BLANCA AND MAR OVIEDO












SEE MY PROCESS BELOW:
This American Life is a podcast that broaches a lot of different subjects. From ghost stories to national news, they never shy away from making an episode that is interesting. This inspired our newspaper project where we had to pick a podcast episode and create a newspaper based on the topic. My partner and I chose one of their scarier podcasts, Crime Scene (2000), where they chatted with real people who have dealt with crime scenes and included a scary story at the end. We were very interested in making the paper gory and weird to look at, and so compiled that together.

We stuck to black and red with halftones to keep the mood dreary and sad, continuing to get more unsettling while going through the newspaper. This project taught me how important it is to communicate with your partner on the desired tone to carry throughout the piece. We were not always together when working, so making sure we would come back with similar ideas and pages was important to have a cohesive story. The masthead was my favorite part of the iteration; I took inspiration from fingerprints that police would collect when someone gets arrested. There were about five different versions of iteration as I kept trying everything I was thinking to add. We were lucky to have ten letters to match how many fingerprints are on a pair of human hands and seamlessly integrated that. Adding ‘left’ and ‘right’ hand helped tremendously to communicate our goal. Overall, this project helped us begin to understand other people's design processes and learn how to work together.
