A story is the telling of an event, either true or fictional, in such a way that the listener experiences or learns something just by the fact that he/she heard the it. A story is a means of transferring information, experience, attitude or point of view.
Every story has a teller and a listener
A story is a series of events that people either create, remember or imagine which they tell themselves because they want or need to hear it. They might create stories because they want to know or learn something, but also they might answer a question.
We are all storytellers

History of Magazines
The first magazine was published in Germany during the 17th century. The success of this publication led to the introduction of magazines across Europe. Great Britain closely followed continental Europe’s lead in producing magazines. During the early 18th century, three major influential magazines published regularly in Great Britain: Robinson Crusoe author Daniel Defoe’s the Review, Sir Richard Steele’s the Tatler, and Joseph Addison and Steele’s the Spectator.
Everything changed in the 1830s when publishers took advantage of a decline in the cost of printing and mailing publications and started producing less expensive magazines targeting a wider audience. Magazine style also started to transform. In the beginning magazines focused on improvement and reason but later versions focused on amusement, they were no longer only for the elite class. Publishers took advantage of they new expanded audience and began offering family, children and women’s magazines. Women’s magazines later proved to be a highly lucrative market.
The arrival of the 20th century brought with it new types of magazines, including news, business, and picture magazines. In time, these types of publications came to dominate the industry and attract vast readerships. Photojournalism, or the telling of stories through photography, also became popular during the early 20th century. Although magazines had been running illustrations since the 19th century, as photography grew in popularity so did picture magazines.
During the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the advent of online technology began to greatly affect both the magazine industry and the print media as a whole. Much like newspaper publishers, magazine publishers have had to rethink their structure to reach out to an increasingly online market.
Zine
The aim for our project was to create a 16 page zine in the Adobe software InDesign which includes images from out Islandness theme, this involves our bay and geological site photoshoots as well as out pictures from the summer project.
When creating my zine I will image a short storyline to help me pick the order that my images will be presented in my zine. This will give me ideas on the theme which will encourage visual ideas so that i can make my zine more aesthetic.
