Zine Design And Layout

Mock-Up One

Cover Page

I wanted my cover page to be in black and white so that I could tell a story through my work, having the last page being in colour. Almost like watching a film turn to colour. I have also chosen this title because I think that my story portrays Jerseys trade and the way people communicate to carry that out.

I want my first page spread to keep with the black and white theme like a story line. I wanted to include 2 images for contrast between modern and old ways of trade and fishing. I also wanted to include some text as an almost introduction to portray the story that I am trying to tell.

I wanted to have a page with just images to leave some things to peoples imagination before I add some text explaining what I am portraying. I wanted to allow people to have their own guess, but I have already interpreted in their minds a nostalgic/historic feeling due to the black and white elements and old brick building’s which have connotations of history.

I wanted my next double page to ease into colour, using a colour popping image to smoothly move into a modernist time. I wanted to still include some text to be able to explain the contrast and my reasoning why. I wanted my image to be big so that it would mostly catch someone’s eye.

I wanted to continue with the text to further explain and give people some facts about changes within the harbour to make it what it is today. I also wanted to include signage that says ‘goodbye’ because I wanted to shift peoples gaze and thoughts onto a different element of the harbour.

I wanted this page to have a massive contrast, a massive jump in time scale. I have included a lot of text so that I can really explain what I am doing and give a true meaning of out harbour today and why these things are so important.

I wanted my last double page to include only images. I wanted to leave things to the imagination.

Last Page

I wanted my final page to be a landscape side image. I wanted people to have to move my zine to see it in the way that they want.
