A photo zine is a self-made, printed issue built of photos and captions. The term comes from the word “magazine”, as zines follow the style of magazines with headings, text, and illustrations put on a grid. An important feature of a photo zine is visual storytelling.

Inspiration

The inspiration I incorporated for my zine was taken from the photo above. I liked how the images looked with the boarder around them and replicated this in my own zine. I was also keen on the way they arranged their images, having their strongest image as the biggest and their most eye catching image as a smaller one since this distributes the viewers gaze.

In my zine, I would like to include these elements as well as adding my own personal touches such as increasing and decreasing the image sizes while rearranging them to get the best outcome.
