20200608-First attempt at a ZINE

After reviewing the idea and asking on the student forums for help, several students suggest the newspaper club and how to make a zine. I had seen this mentioned on the forum in older posts. The issue I have with it is costs and how many you need to produce to bring the price down. I don’t think it is worth the money for what will be a short gain.

I used Lightroom and book module to produce the layout. Something I had not used during assignment three, where I used pages app through the Apple software. Its slightly harder to master, although I have found a Youtube tutorial on this. I’ve just stuck to a simple layout while I try to establish how best to achieve this. I must admit I’m relatively pleased with the first attempt. The fact that it has been printed on cheap recycled paper and using a standard printer it has a rustic feel to it like you’d expect from a cheap magazine or a newspaper pull out.

If the assessment is not digital and we send prints, this would compliment the final prints with a small zine.
