- How could participation be a form of distribution related to your brief?
Encouraging people to further distribute the zines. They'll be left in public spaces, they could have a design saying 'leave me for someone else to find, or if you want your own copy - purchase at GladPrint.com! etc' then they get further and further distributed.
Workshops could also be a form of participation. It could be a future consideration, but Glad Print could collaborate with a yoga studio or somewhere like Belgrave to put on sessions, which could then be covered in the zine. This could extend further to mindfulness sessions or mental health discussions.
- Justification of your identified platform for communication
Printed media ensures that everyone can access positive news. Due to the distribution and size of the project, it will only be found by chance, so having an online element where the zine can be purchased/ news can be shared is also necessary.
- Are there any possible ethical/ social/ technological/ cultural concerns? Even if their aren't write about it to evidence your consideration
Like ADAPT mentioned in their presentation today, some news is sensitive and relevant and shouldn't be dismissed or covered up. They distributed stickers for their audience to stick on newspapers - but made sure to instruct them not to stick them on headlines with sensitive topics.
There's also the issue of not bashing the media of the news. Some people do, as I found out through my research that the news is filtered down to us which make people angry and untrusting. However, this is not the aim of Glad Print. Glad Print is about spreading positivity, so bashing other media outlets is wrong.
