Joint Year Project - Zines
Beginning this new year we were given a project working in teams of 4, two second years and two first years. We were asked to design and produce a magazine based around to word 'active'. It could be about anything, look how we wanted it and use any production methods possible, but it must relate to the word 'active'. By the deadline we must have handed in 50 copies of our magazine.
In our group we decided to use 'active news'. We came up with the concept to use newspaper headlines and images and create a small weekly newspaper that could be picked up and read quickly without having any full stories, just giving an overview of the news from the previous week. We wanted to put it together imaginatively and creativly otherwise the content would have been boring.
To produce our final Zine, we cut up the headlines and simply stuck them with sticky tape onto pieces of a4 paper, creating one rough magazine first. Then we photocopied this master copy onto newsprint paper 50 times. The newsprint gave us so many problems when it came to photocopying, however we managed to work around it and handed in all 50 copies, sealed using plastic heat sealed bags.
