Due to the CoronaVirus I have returned home and am unable to physically produce my zines as I do not have a printer. I am still, however, going to continue with the production of my zines digitally - it just means that the final outcome may not look how I previously have thought it might.
I have made digital books before using the website Flipsnack, which turns PDF's into books that you flip through. This is one possibility, or I could simply collate my zine layouts and create posters, like the examples below. I think that either would be interesting alternatives to actually printing my zines.
In terms of how they will look, I no longer have the scanner at my disposal to overlay images and text how I wanted to - so I have to rethink how I am going to assemble them and I how I can do this digitally. I still really want to include hand-written text and a warm colour palette, as the zines are all about my relationship with graphic design and therefore should reflect what I like.
I can no longer include transparent inserts in my design and also won't be able to rely on the nice grainy texture from the scanner but I am going to try and make up for this within my digital designs.
