Zine Plan

The Type of Zine

For my zine, I want to explore the different types of zines to create a unique one. My last zine that I made was a single section zine which is known as a booklet. Although this is a good way to display my photographs, I feel it isn't as creative as it should be. After some research and experimentation with paper I have decided to make a zine within a zine. This is basically a single section zine however, it combines a variety of paper sizes which can be distributed is numerous ways. For my zine I will have three different paper sizes. 

On the outside I will have a length is 21cm and width 7.5cm. I will print this out on a piece of coloured paper/card and it will have the title of my zine with my name at the bottom to display that it is made by me. I will only have one of this paper size on my zine as it is used for a title page. 

The second paper size I will use in my zine has a height of 12cm and a width of 14.8cm. This size will feature throughout my zine, however, there will be a pice in the middle of my zine. This will be my montage that I sewed into. However,  instead of having the photo of it being sewed in. I will re-sew into the piece making the zine have multi-media. The sewing patterns will be different from the first sewed montage I made but I don't mind that as it ties in with the message of the montage, everyone's experiences of the war is individual.

The third paper size I will use for my zine will be A5. This is the typical paper size of a zine and will be throughout the zine. Here I can use both vertical and horizontal images, but vertical images will be a lot more suited to the A5 paper than the 12cm by 14.8cm paper.
