Making a Zene

One of the tasks we have been set before the summer break is to create a zene out of the images we have taken so far. In this post I will be showcasing the layout and the main content of the zene; as going through the entire zene would be long-winded and boring. Therefore I am going to review 8 of the 16 total pages instead.

I have focused on editing the photos in a modern way, as it blends the relics of the past with the present. I have also tried to lay out the zene in chronological order, in terms of the story of the war.


As my front cover I have chosen an edited image of a war memorial. I think it encompasses the entire zene quite well as its a look back at the war.

I started the zene with pictures of guns and artillery, which symbolises the physical conflict and violence of the war.
The next part of the zene contains images more focused on bunkers and the fortifications as a whole.
The next section contains images more focused on liberation, the end of the war.
The back cover is a very bright and colourful photo which symbolises happier and better life after the war. A kind of stereotypical ‘happy ending’.
