We looked at various examples of zines which Mark Pawson, our tutor, has produced and successfully sold himself. It was good to see the variation in sizes and quality in each example, as well as the simplicity of some designs and content that was still effective. For example, his zine made completely from envelopes of letters he was sent.
Last Year's Work
Like Mark's zines, it was good to see the variety in production techniques and print methods and also the content. For example, the stencilling in the zine on Cuban dance, including their use of screen-printing and tracing paper, and this zine called “A Hair in the Throat” that's really interesting as it seems to be simply saddle stitched with staples, and printed on an inkjet printer, mostly being about the stylistic illustrations.
