ZINES (Week 7)

Second photo taken by Tiger

Today’s Fundamentals lecture was our final lecture, and the deadline for the ‘Create A Zine’ brief. For the session we placed all of our final zines on a table to pick up and look at. It was a fun and wholesome experience to get to know everyone further via their zines and what their interests are. It was a good way to look at the different styles, themes, and even techniques used in making the zines. I could definitely see all of them published in a book shop!   

For my tutorial with my lecturer there wasn’t a lot of negatives to discuss. He said he really loved by characterisations and i had a good sense of what to do. The only pointers was that i add things to the inside and back covers. Could be a continuous pattern to help liven up the Zine. Another critique was that i make my contact page a lot more neater with its writing and placement. All  minor and understandable things.  

‘The Vile Stuff’ by Richard Dawson

“The Vile stuff” task was our final in class task for the remainder of the session. We followed the theme of the song and everybody in class was given a snippet of the lyrics. Once being given a verse to cover each person had to draw something based on it, or at least something that fit the theme/mood. We were to draw in black ink so our lecturer could inverted it for the final Zine. 

Doing my illustration i choose to draw it as an already made inverted piece for the sake of it being easier on myself. I wanted to draw something gross so im glad i got the last verse of the song. Drawn in procreate.

ZINE WORK (Week 5 & 6)

“Norske Folke-Evenlyr” - Norwegian Folklore 

In this week’s Fundamentals lecture, we continued working on our own personal zine project. A three week project to end off the first half of our first year. My choice of Zine is all about Scandinavian mythology, especially Norwegian mythology. I did a set of 12 images regarding the mountain trolls to the forest nymphs and water spirits. I didn’t realise how many water spirits Norway actually had before doing this project. 

All images were drawn and finalised in the application Procreate, using grey scale colours to help make printing costs more cheaper for my own sake. I didn’t want my illustrations to fill the entire page if i could help it. Some where, but i wanted most to be in a centred square or to be strictly inside a border to feel like it was also a guide then just a art book. 

I could have chosen to also type the names of each creature, but to help mimic the style of how i drew my lineart i handwritten the names myself. I felt like it looked alright at the same, but now as i look back on it i could have improved on typing it and drawing over it as a guide to help it look more neater. 

Making the physical copy of the book stressed me out. It was a good experience, but this was the first time i would be making a zine. When i got down to it after getting everything i needed i was set. I bought a good pack of quality card paper from WHSmiths. At first, i had trouble printing out pages due to the printers in the Uni library jamming everything i sent out to print. But printers upstairs within the uni were more trustworthy when i was shown were they were. 

The pages did come out alright in the end. Not as vivid in ink as i wanted it to be but it was over and done with and i was definitely satisfied. The only thing i would have liked to do is go back and trim the edges.
