Encroach is an editorial design project that delves into the transitional epoch between Modernism and Postmodernism in graphic design. The zine explores the in-between spaces of these two pivotal design movements, focusing on the shifts, contrasts, and evolution of visual communication. Through a collection of essays by influential designers, it expresses the theory and thought behind the changes that occurred during this time. The design of the zine itself mirrors the concepts it discusses, using a balance of clean, structured layouts and chaotic, playful elements to reflect the tension between Modernism’s clarity and Postmodernism’s complexity. Typography, imagery, and page composition are carefully chosen to echo the themes of transition, with each spread offering a thoughtful exploration of the design theories. The project serves as both a visual and intellectual journey through a crucial period in graphic design history.
