AUP Series:“The Corona Diaries”
When the pandemic hit Paris, France in 2020, my Video Journalism Practicum class was forced to pivot from local news gathering to at-home vlogging. The series of vlog compilations we’d go on to produce was called “The Corona Diaries,” and, as Deputy Editor, I devised its visual identity for YouTube…
To emulate the doodles in the margins of class notes or the front cover of a young person’s private journal, I chose a title font that looked like marker scrawls. I drew doodles in white and utilized stills from vlogs as stickers to enhance to the DIY look.
When a new Editor in Chief took the reigns, I chose a new, but still hand-drawn-looking, font as if to say the series was being written in a new handwriting.
