Bunker Zine Design and layout

Narrative: What is your story?
Describe in:

  • 3 words – Past, Present, Future
  • A sentence – Trying to show Jersey before the war, during the war and after the war.
  • A paragraph – In this zine I’m planning on trying to express what Jersey was like before during and after the war. I will be doing this through using archive image for the first third of my zine, a photomontage of both archive and my own images in the second third and just my own images in the final third. I almost wan it to be like a story with a beginning, middle and an end.

Design: Consider the following

  • How you want your zine to look and feel – I want it be back and white at first, then half and half, then full colour.
  • Format, size and orientation – A5 Portrait
  • Binding and cover – stapled and glued. Image wrap.
  • TitleĀ – Message from the King. It will have a document on the cover that starts with that sentence.
  • Design and layout – Beginning middle and end structure with photomontages.
  • Editing and sequencing – Archive images first, then montages and finally my own images
  • Images and text – I want my own images at the end to be surrounded by grass or shrubbery or taken over by rust to show the past is always there but the decay show how long ago it was. no text.
