Playing with paper stock and layouts


Experimenting with a one strip layout



I wanted to take advice from the crit and experiment with different layout styles. This one in particular uses a one strip dimension, which was quite effective in producing a bulkier zine; I also really liked how the ratios worked and how it placed more emphasis on one strip at a time. I was thinking that I could combine layouts and possibly have a monthly package? 

Poster-zine concept



I thought the posterzine concept could work well as it would be more collective and also provide a space for a print; this could let me create an illustration for the back of the zine, and let the publication seem more interactive. As well as this, by printing stickers I could combine the two and make a 'monthly' collection; the stickers could be stuck on the poster? 

Initial plan


Here is the initial plan for the posterzine using a format I found in my visual research. I now need to decide what paper stock to print on, and what size to print; I was thinking that A3 could work quite well, as folded up it would be A5 (the same size as the sticker sheet), which could fold together in a plastic wallet.
