DOTDOTDOT

'dotdotdot' is the brainchild of the third year Bachelors of Communication unit 'Magazine and Digital Publishing'. It is the combined work of 28 students split into five teams; Design, visuals, communication, marketing and editorial. Over the course a year the teams work in conjunction together to gather funding, organise events, plan, and design an editorial project chosen by the class.

THE CONCEPT

 dot dot dot aims to challenge this idea by tackling various types of creative cognition, how different types of artists work, and how they overcome moments where their ideas are blocked from coming to the surface. 
This publication can be summarized as a love letter to the bravery of artists. It is a celebration of creativity and exploration in all its forms, and we aimed to provide a platform for creatives at varying levels of experience to share their stories and love for their craft. We explore this through practitioners of various media — from dance to art restoration — by delving deep into their backgrounds, creative cognition, values, and beliefs.
MOODBOARD
The design process for "dotdotdot" was driven by our mission to truly capture the essence of each artist's journey. We aimed to emphasize the richness that emerges when these diverse voices and their artistic visions come together. 
As we delved into the design process, we recognized and celebrated the inherent diversity among artists and the multitude of ways their creativity manifests. Each artist's journey is unique, reflecting their own perspectives and quirks.
As a team we brainstormed, sketched and refined the bold geometric design of our logo straight out of my bedroom. We spent countless hours scrolling through Pinterest and Behance, creating board after board of different designs.
LOGO
Wedesigned dotdotdot, as a brand, to be a monochromatic container, a space where the emphasis was on the content rather than on the brand. The typography, layout, color palette, and imagery were chosen to evoke a sense of creativity and exploration. Where boundaries are pushed, and where the joy of self-expression knows no bounds.
Throughout the design process, our team meticulously crafted an immersive experience for readers. We paid careful attention to the visual aesthetics, typography, and layout, ensuring that the design harmonized with the content and enhanced the overall reading experience. The goal was to create a visually captivating platform that would engage readers and allow them to immerse themselves fully in the stories and insights shared by the artists.
