After choosing my 5 designers that I will include in my final publication, I practised making a zine from some of their work. This process was really quick and hap-hazard, but I love the outcome. By quickly collaging on the scanner by simply placing pieces of work together I was able to create pages for my zine in seconds, and the outcomes were contemporary and modern. Next, playing around with invert and contrast took it even further.
I learnt a lot from making this simple zine; for example, I tried to make inserts that had small pieces of text on them but when it came to binding I realised that this left a blank side to the insert - something that will now be considered beforehand in the future. I also realised that I really need to consider page numbers and whether they are even or not. These small 'bumps in the road' effect the over all quality of this little mock-up, however, this will improve the quality of the publications that I make in the future.
This process made me realise that I definitely want to create one large publication holding all of the information for this brief. The possibility of making five separate ones was there, however, I love the continuation that designing a book has. As well as this, I love the idea of combining my favourite artists work and seeing a splash of me across the page.
