Fanzine Factory

Fanzine Factory

Today I took place in the fanzine factory. In groups, we collaged individual pages and passed it along. Each time a different person would collage another page and see what came of the whole zine. I mainly tried messing with typography as I found this might show some more narrative instead of random images. We also included letraset in some of the pages to give it added character and also to see what other types of forms we would create. I never used this before but I tried all sorts of stuff with it, for instance using it to create pattern, spelling words out or even making words with just the number zero. I cut the pages up and printed letraset within the several pages to attempt to make them link. 

I noticed that there was a theme that travelled through each publication, depending on the first collage made. For instance mine was initially a type based collage and by the end it was full of typography based collages. Other trends I noticed was one publication was full of eyes, one was full of maps and another was very simplistic. Then we split these pages up into out favourites and created one ultimate zine out of them all. The theme stayed similar throughout and the pages were carefully laid out. The main theme however was collaboration which was an important part of this task.
