dan pearlman Fanzine

During my internship at dan pearlman, I had the opportunity to contribute to the creation of the company's fanzine, the “danzine”, working closely with my friend and mentor, Susan Stäbler. It was an exciting challenge that combined editorial design, branding, and hands-on craftsmanship.

From the ground up, we developed the layout and visual identity of the publication, ensuring it reflected the agency's creative spirit. We printed and hand-bound the first prototypes, refining every detail to set the foundation for future editions. Beyond the design, we established a modular grid system that would provide structure and consistency for upcoming issues.

My role extended beyond layout—I was deeply involved in the curation and refinement of content. I translated written pieces, ensuring clarity and tone remained intact, and meticulously researched and edited images to enhance the storytelling. Balancing aesthetics with function, I helped shape the visual and editorial direction of a zine that embodied the agency’s culture and creativity.
