Under the motto “Hands on Tools,” each group of students develops a workshop for another group to delve deeper into the topic. The result is five assignments, each exploring the working methods of contemporary designers. The workshop <em>Fan Scans for Scan Fans</em> focuses on German pop band Blond—whose provocative and socially critical lyrics recall the punk movement of the 1970s—and the visual culture surrounding them with fan-made punk zines. The goal is to create a collaborative zine.

Students immerse themselves in the world of the band, drawing inspiration from songs such as “Oberkörperfrei” and “Männer.” All materials for the zine are produced using a scanner, with the final design shaped by the chosen resolution, materials, and techniques. The design methods—transparency, layering, and the coexistence of visual calm and chaos—are inspired by the zines currently on display at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg.
