‘I believe the photographic book is the best medium for photography. The ability to create impact by pairing, juxtaposing and sorting pictures into a flow in order to tell a story or instill an emotion in the viewer is unsurpassed by any other photographic medium. Having something tactile in your hands that you can keep and look at on your own terms is also very important. A zine is an accessible way for someone to create this object and they can take on many different forms – from a very DIY aesthetic to high end magazine print quality.‘ – James Moreton

How do I want my design to look and feel?

I want my photo zine to look well put together and interesting, I want the reader to feel like its been made with detail and with purpose. Rather than a random mix of photos put together with no meaning or concept.

Format, size and orientation

My zine will be a normal size, however the photos will be different sizes depending on what suits it most.

Narrative and Visual concept

The narrative is that my zine shows different people/ tourists in St Malo, and the pictures capture what they are doing and how they are using their time. It ranges from pictures of families, single parents with their children, couples, the elderly and just people on their own as well. I think its interesting to see and observe these type of things especially as St Malo is known for its tourists, and considering I went there as a tourist to photograph the town I thought this particular concept/ narrative suited most. Also after looking and organising through all my images it came clear that this was the best option instead of randomly putting together some pictures with absolutely no story or coordination at all.
