First Zine Development

- Digitally producing my zines, I have tried to emulate a screenprinted feel by sticking to one colour and therefore producing a monotone outcome. I wanted to create the feel of layered screenprints on top of one another, and I did this through bitmapping each image and layering on Photoshop.
- I like the outcome because I think that it does have a screenprinted feel, however, I do worry that it looks quite flat. I'm unsure on how to add depth in digitally - perhaps I should add texture and dust using vectors?
- I think that the dust idea could be an interesting detail - a lot of what I am inspired by has a retro feel (like Maple Forest) or is straight up retro design, so this could link quite well.
- I have tried to make the details so far as justifiable as possible, like the screenprinted theme coming from my favourite process and the handwritten text linking to my love of hand-rendered design and hand made objects. However, I still feel that this is not enough? The outcomes in a way are simplistic due to the monotone-ness and negative space, but this again links to the style of design that I like, so I am quite conflicted.
