Making My Zine – Narrative and Sequencing

For my own zine, I will be basing it around the theme of desperation of the Jersey people at the time of the Occupation ( The German Occupation of the Channel Islands lasted for most of the Second World War, from 30 June 1940 until their liberation on 9 May 1945), and also exploring the feeling of being ‘betrayed’ by the UK forces for technically abandoning the island.

The layout of my zine will consist of 16 A5 pages. With a mix of photo-montages that I have made, some archival photos and own black and white photos from bunker trips. For the colour scheme: I am going to go with only black and white photos with some red touches. E.g the front cover of my zine will have a red sky which I painted on it, and other pages will have red text and different backgrounds.
