Zines are a tiny magazine that are usually produced by one person or a small organization. they are not seen in a bigger mass produced scale as the quality and production process is cheap and easy to produced, thus it can be done by just one person. they usually present a subject that person is interested in, meaning they are quite direct. they are a common way of photographers to get their work displayed. Usually a zine wouldn’t carry a lot of content, meaning it is ideal for displaying a focused photoshoots.

I have both digitally and physically researched different formats and existing zines that have been created by various people.

What I’ve noticed is how on each page the photographs link together, they all have a certain theme that runs through the zine and the photographs on each page compliment each other in a way where they a sort of similar. The arrangement of photographs is so impart ant for the narrative that runs through the whole zine. Some pages that have an additional writing to create more of a storyline, are effective, however what i think is best is when there is an evident storyline shown through the photographs and the arrangement of them, this is because tit gives ore freedom to the viewer to create a more broad response which doesn’t have to be right or wrong.
