My  name is Will Zabriskie and I  am a designer. I am a graphic designer with a thoughtful and versatile approach to visual communication, I focus on transforming ideas into clear, engaging, and meaningful designs. My work balances concept and craft, combining strong typographic sensibility, attention to detail, and an understanding of visual hierarchy across both print and digital media. With an interest in storytelling and user experience, I aim to create designs that are not only visually compelling but also purposeful and accessible. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to refinement, I approach each project as an opportunity to explore, problem-solve, and communicate with intention.

I am from Barrington, Rhode Island, and currently attend Virginia Tech University, where I am majoring in graphic design with a minor in advertising. I have a strong interest in movies, music, and painting, and I am especially focused right now on producing electronic music and learning animation.

DESCRIPTION

This zine focuses on typography and simple illustration. It explores the typeface Didot, highlighting its distinctive contrast, elegance, and historical significance. Through carefully chosen layouts and minimal illustrations, the zine emphasizes Didot’s visual characteristics while allowing the type itself to remain the central focus.

The project aims to create a refined and intentional reading experience by pairing restraint with clarity. By limiting color, imagery, and visual complexity, the zine encourages closer attention to letterforms, spacing, and rhythm. This minimal approach reinforces the sophistication of Didot while demonstrating how thoughtful typographic decisions can communicate mood, history, and identity without relying on excessive decoration.
