Zine: narrative and story

My zine is going to be based off the photos i took and images i made in St Malo. I carefully selected my images and cut them down to what i think are my strongest images. After i did this i edited them using different tools including cropping and changing the angle of some images.

I’ve decided to make all the images in my zine black and white. My strongest images from the shoot are all of inside the walled city; the images are interesting however, they all have the same boring color theme going on of different beige and brown tones. using black and white, i am able to bring out the darker and lighter tones in the images, maybe even exaggerating them, this defines the photos. I want my zine to tell a story in a way that color doesn’t distract the viewer from the images beauty.

When we were in St Malo I was fascinated by the architecture of the walls and the buildings, how it had been made etc. Due to this i decided to take most of my images of the buildings and less of, say, people.

I want my zine to represent the history of the architecture in and around the walled city. This is another reason I’ve chosen to put my images in black and white, to represent that the walls of St Malo are an ancient artifact that have more historical meaning then just a tourist attraction.

I plan on possibly involving text on the pages of my zine. This will include a title on the front cover and then maybe some information on the background of St Malo.
