00 PRINT–NESS 12/22

Serving as my thesis degree project at the Rhode Island School of Design, Print–ness is an exploration and investigation into print and how the people around me expirience print.

The magazine encourages play within each page. The unoffical format allows for an interactive expirience. Indicators throughout the pages invite tearring, cutting, marking, coloring, and removing content. There is an openness which creates room for the reader to interpret their own indicators. Remove, rearrange, redact, or reinvent content.

The content of these pages is not to be taken too seriously. Rather, it is my hope that the reader draws inspiration, finds something to love, finds something to hate, and allows something to leave with them each time they open the cover. Drawing upon print’s inherent qualities, this bound stack of papers should serve as a playground. Dog ear favorite pages, rip out ones you can’t stand. Glue in things left out and scribble out the things that should have been. Take your lecture notes on the back. Jot down your grocery list on the front. Allow these pages to guide your fingers and stimulate your senses as you explore print-ness.
