Testing out the folding zine method

 Testing out the folding zine method

I wanted to physically test out the folded zine concept, as obviously it was a very practical process that I needed to visualise in person. I printed out the initial design in the studio to test out whether it would work/ be appropriate for my project.

One of the issues I came across was that the printed added an annoying border around the images, so some images had a white block when folded. This is an issue that obviously can be easily resolved through trimming the edges, but would require further practical considerations when created.

Because it was my first attempt, some images also just didn't match up perfectly, which again is something that could be resolved fairly easily. 

Some of the folds (like this one above) ended up matching fine, so I suppose the design process would just involve more tweaking of the image positioning. 

The process of folding to match images together definitely has a playful sense of voice, but my only worry with using images is that it contradicts the no photos policy in Berlin's techno scene; obviously, this format still conceptually links to the idea of censorship, but I feel like there are more appropriate ways that would relate better to my issue. Despite this, I still want my outcome to share the same engagement that this method has, but I could definitely make it more clear to the audience what they have to do.
