What is a zine?

A Zine is a small-circulation booklet or magazine often created by hand or using digital tools through self-publishing. Unlike traditional magazines, zines are characterised by their DIY ethos and independent spirit. They cover a vast array of topics, from personal stories to art, poetry, and music. They’re standout pieces of print media because they can be as varied as the creators behind them.

My Zine

For my zine I wanted to not only do one ‘ theme’ I wanted to try get to things and make them work together. And so I came up with the idea on The different Landscapes, when the word ‘Landscape’ comes up normally the scene that comes up is this beautiful mountain with a blue sky, however that isn’t the only type of landscape and the one who is most present in our lives the one that was altered by men. And that was the idea I brought to my Zine.

For the front page I wanted to make it simple but somehow looks interesting. The title is quite vague and it makes the viewer question ‘ in between what?’. I choose this picture because Its simple but its still beautiful, it kind off gives away what this zine is about.

This was my ‘ introduction’ page, where on the left I briefly explain what this Zine is about , I also added 2 images to not only to fill up the page but also make the viewer interested . On the right I Talk a bit about myself and also talk about Robert Adams which was the photographer who I took inspiration from.

My pages that show the images:

In all of them I added a title, size, and year that it was made.

I added 3 pages that I used this ‘template’ I did this so Both images are in focus. I noticed That when I had the both images with the same size they in a way fought each other for attention so then I decided to to it like this.

I also choose to have some images occupying both pages because they are my favourite images and also because they are horizontal.

The other way I displayed my images is having 2 on each page.
