Last night, Federated Media’s Neil Chase and I presented at my alma mater, the UC Berkeley Grad School of Journalism, about online publishing. The conversation was all about digital media, so afterwards I was delighted when a student there named Diana Jou came up to me wanting to talk about print ‘zines! She has a blog, called Systems of Operation, where she (mostly) posts photos of ‘zines, print ephemera, and artists books whose design she digs. Her taste seems to overlap with my own and I hope she starts updating her blog more frequently! The images above come from an instruction manual for an Olivetti typewriter and a booklet from the Society for Scientific Investigations of Anomalous Atmospherical and Radar Phenomena.
