Lindsey: Thesis Mediums - Zine









I re-designed my zine from last week so that my imagery would have more connection to my content. It is inspired by the Windows 95 debacle between India/Pakistan and Argentina/Peru. The initial release of the software included a map in the set-up window that allowed the user to choose a time zone. Because there were ongoing border issues with the previously mentioned countries, India and Argentina were upset that the map had incorrect borders (off by only a few pixels) and they threatened to boycott Windows if they did not recall the software and fix the map. The zine is also in support of the dymaxion map because it is the most accurate way of assembling a globe and portraying a flat map.
