Since we don't want to be cancelled in the micro-typography sphere we opted for FLOSS options. The fonts used on the website can be found here https://git.xpub.nl/XPUB/SI24/src/branch/main/web/fonts

Colors used for website(stolen from Rotterdam tourist information): dark grey color: #212529

Process

Brochure

We each wrote names and places on pieces of paper, and put them in a box. We then randomly grabs two to combine name and place.
We then loitered to the Rotterdam Tourist Information Center and stocked up on postcards and maps to get inspired to forge the first draft of the brochure (here, made by Senka)

Example ads:
Feel free to add your own ad to the slideshow, we will put them all in the brochure
