• Trial, error, and truth is what David Benski’s work is based on.
• Using behind-the-scenes images shot by Michael, as well as an array of collaged pictures hand-treated by David, the designer crafted together a one-of-a-kind zine embodying both the rawness of the theme as well as David’s playful aesthetic.
• During the shoot, the models/runners were also provided with small notebooks which they could doodle in. These scribbles also made it into the final design, adding a hand-rendered quality and a further sense of DIY zine-ness. 
• David also used a typewriter grid to accentuate the project’s personality, sometimes colliding columns with other content
• “They did an amazing job with the footage where they composed a surreal urban brutalist view to the backdrop of Saxon Switzerland,” adds David on the dynamic shoot, which serves as an effective foundation for the textured design. (50/50 contrast of context)
