zein; design and layout

A zine is a small, handmade diy magazine, it consists of photos and text.

For my zine I decided to do a range of landscape/romanticism style photos which I then creatively edited after, here a few examples of the photos I put into the zine:

This a photo taken at “Queens Valley” in the Jersey Channel Islands, when editing the photo I added a purple tint to help romanticize the view.

This photo was taken at “St Ouens Reservoir” in the Jersey Channel Islands, I increased the yellow and orange hues from the sunset and also added a pink tone to it, I then added a dramatic haze over it to give the photo a more nostalgic feel and help with giving a romanticism feel to it.

Here are two similar but different creative edits of the same tree that I put into the zine, the blue one is titled “Water” and the red one is titled “Blood”, this is a correlation to the thickness of blood and water with the photo titled “Blood” being more prominent and standing out more which was done by me boosting the effects I used on the blue image higher on the red image.

Here are two more similar photos that I did of trees, the photo was taken by moving the camera fast to create a natural blur and then editing the photos to enhance the effect of the blur, add game and then used the colour wheel to change the colour of each image.

Here is another creative edit I did off multiple photos I took off trees, I cut them all into panoramic images and edited each creatively, I added gain, changed colours, changed orientation and flipped some around e.c.t

Artist reference

My artist refence was Richard Mose, he used infrared cameras that they would use in the war to then take abstract landscape photos inspired by them, I found all his landscape photos to be really creative and unique and wanted to try imitate it, here are some examples of his work:
