Quiz
Challenge
Taschen, known for art and design books, was launching History of Design: From the Beginning to WWII for new design students needing a quick reference guide. They aimed to reach students at home and convert the first-semester fanzine into an accessible digital format.
Result
My fanzine project was a creative box called “5 Styles,” featuring five paper matches, each representing a different art era. The matches don’t fully burn, symbolizing how past knowledge endures and inspires future designs. The game is simple yet practical, including five requested artistic movements—Egypt, Arts and Crafts, the Avant-Gardes, the Bauhaus, and Art Deco—divided into sections to facilitate understanding and learning from each individually.
Programs
- Figma

Sound
If the user clicks the sound button on the homepage, the website will direct them to this page. Here, they can adjust the sound and vibration separately, or click «Mute» if they want to turn off the sound completely.
Translation
If the user clicks on the translator icon, the website will take them to this page. Here, they can choose from several languages: Spanish (native language), English (common language), French, German, Italian, and Chinese.
