Zine Planning + Layout

For my zine I decided to experiment with images and text, which I have gone with, I wanted to use text because it would give the images a clear understanding of the message I am trying to get across.

For the front page I decided to go for an army green colour to represent the time of when jersey was under control. I also added a small image in the centre of the page, by doing this I have made it look like a small picture stamp, I wanted it like this. I have also added a black border surrounding the image in the centre. I also decided to have the person on the image looking up and sideways as if he was reflecting on something.
Firstly I tried out this layout however, it didn’t have the feel I wanted with the image.
Then I increased the size of the image to see if it had the effect I wanted
I have then decided to change the background behind the text as I felt that it would attract the reader to look at the text.
I decided to have the same layout on this page, again to attract the reader.
For this I placed the image, as i was going to place text underneath this image.
I have placed the text underneath, I like the way its positioned on the page as if it was a story book.
I have copied the layout to the next page.
I have decided to put this image in the centre pages of the zine, as i think it’s a quite important image.
I decided to add text to the right top corner to try and explain the context of the image.
After printing out my zine, I decided to change the size of the image so its fits the page rather than having a border. I also added more text to what I have already written, as i found that the original sentence didn’t make proper sense.
This is the same layout that I did previously before the middle page
I have added the text however I have edited the image size of the images as it looked squashed
I have then added the text beside the image which will relate to the image
I also decided to change the image as I decided to use the image somewhere else.
I have applied the same layout to this page.
I have applied the same layout to this page, like the front cover, however, for the image have used an image which she is slightly facing forward but also a little sideways.
