Comic Sans? Love it! Chrome typography? Here for it! A bold and garish colour palette? Of course! Nothing was too much for this issue, and as designers, we chose to break design conventions in a playful manner to reflect the offbeat and out-of-the-ordinary content that we were showcasing.
Vertigo is a magazine made by, showcasing and for UTS students. It was named after the dizzying, vertiginous height of the infamous UTS Tower building. Each year, a new team is elected for a different vision and masthead across printed volumes and digital media. Our fourth volume was centred around embracing all things trash and typically ‘cringe’. We wanted to shine a spotlight on the kitsch, lowbrow, and campy things that we love without feeling shame or guilt.
