Front Cover

I decided to create quite a simple cover, with one of my pictures featured in the middle. I added a white border around the picture (with a thicker bit at the bottom to create a polaroid effect) and a double border around the edge. I choose quite a simple yet blocky font, adding a title and my name in a smaller size beneath it. I think it is an effective cover as it gives the viewer a taste of what is featured in the zine without revealing too much.

Inside

My first double page includes a blank black page with an overview of the trip written in the middle. On the right, I included a landscape image that I took.

I decided to display my favourite landscape images over two pages.

I displayed the portrait images side by side, some filling up the whole page and some having a black border.

For my remaining portrait and landscape photos, I went for a different layout, including a quote from Henri Cartier- Bresson below the landscape image.

Back Cover

For the back cover, I used a similar layout as I did for my front cover, however this time I included another quote from Henri Cartier- Bresson.

I have chosen to use these images in my zine;

Textual elements

I have chosen to add some textual elements in the form of a few small blocks of text that describe my experiences in the moment which I took them. I also titled the zine with the French title ‘Souvenirs de Saint-Malo‘, translating to ‘memories of Saint-Malo’. I chose this because I think it reflects the main objective of the piece, which is to convey the concept of nostalgia through imagery and text. The typography settings I have chosen throughout (for everything except the cover) are shown below.

I chose these settings because I found they created the right kind of effect and that they fitted best with the nostalgic concept I wanted.
