Further developments/ experiments
Today I decided to focus on developing my 5 designer zines further through playing more with text and colours. I decided to do so by printing out sheets of text (that will eventually contain my own writing) and experimented with how I could involve the images.
I thought it would be interesting to cut out sections of the photocopied images to show some aspects of the text; I felt like this was effective in introducing some shapes to the design, as well as adding a interactive and playful element. I want the zines to have this sense of fun, and have a multilayered nature that is shared with the 5 artists work.
These zines definitely had a more toned down colour scheme compared to last week, as I wanted to try out subtler colours such as whites and pale blues/pinks. I don't think that colour wise these really fit into the 5 artists' style, as I want the zines to pop with colour and have a nostalgic atmosphere. The white and blue contrast isn't really strong enough for what I want to achieve.
The biggest development today was the introduction of a sleeve to the zines, which I think could work for the final thing; I think I want to have 5 separate zines for each topic, so this would be useful in collecting them all together. However, I feel like I could collect all the 5 zines in a more exciting and clever way; for instance maybe a bubble wrap design? Or a plastic bag.
Next week I think I need to focus more on the content of the zines to build more stuff to work with and add into these zines, as at the moment it is purely image based design.
