What is a zine?

A zine is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group, and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation. A good photo zine captures the essence of its subject matter through visually compelling and thought provoking images. It should tell a story or evoke emotions through it’s photography.

Mood Board

I have produced a mood board to refer to for the design and layout of my zine. I am going for a more minimalistic style as I feel it compliments the tone and framing of the images. Whilst focusing on the simplicity and cleanliness of the design, allowing the content to stand out, creating a sense of sophistication.
