2D2 | ZINE Progression (in print)

Here I present to you the printed drafts I had for my final project. Each draft contains a different edit and a build up to what I’ve achieved today.

Draft 4, 5 and 6 helped me choose the paper that I want after seeing them in print. I finally choose to have my final print in Monet, 115gsm as I felt that I didn’t want the paper quality to be too thin even though it’s a personal zine because I want the structure as it is a poetry zine. The thicker paper also suited the colours from the contrasting toned images of my zine. The other people didn’t feel as solid and neither did it really bring out my vision.

Also, I didn’t bind it together as I wanted a raw authentic feel as the pages are flipped. I didn’t want the rigid feel of the papers sticking together.

Thus, this concludes my progression over the past few weeks while working on this zine.

Hope you enjoyed it.

2D2 | Final Zine

ANNDDDD THIS IS THE LAST! There were some slight adjustments and this is the final piece that was submitted. Initially I wanted to omit the stapler binding and leave it as it is but bind it with a string, but just to follow and be aligned with the brief, I decided to stapler it on top of the string binding.

This process was a fun and pretty relaxing one. From visiting the site to changing my layouts of the zine. The printing process was an eye opener to really see the zine come to life and to see how layouts and designs work. I learnt to stick to my gut and really follow the design instincts in me, play with colour and make sure things are consistent. I felt that my eye for things were slightly more trained with this project and I look forward to more projects as such.
