Zine-Thomas Clem

For my zine, I first thought about what the main title for whole zine was going to be called, after much deliberation I came up with self titling my zine “Thomas Clem”, many music artists self-title their albums or pieces of work after going through change or finding their sort of sound in music, but in my case me finding my own style is the reason of self titling. But for my zine I put a little bit of a twist on it, I showed all the things that did not help me find my style such as preferences, the people I surround myself with, traveling, and the music I listen to. In my zine I put pictures of all the things I was referencing, but then added little annotations to exactly what I was thinking about in that picture, like with the picture of my friends and I, I annotated things like “this jersey is an XXL” or “I would never wear this color” to give the reader a more in depth way to look at why I do not dress like them. For me, I do not like reading, so I set out to make my zine interactive with the reader, so then at the end I put a generic body and made miniature clothes of some of the pieces of clothing I wear and wrote, “Pick my Outfit for me” so then the reader can dress me up the way that they think I should dress with their preferences in mind. One of the toughest situations for me was the sizing of the pages and pictures, and then making the miniature clothes a good size to be able to fit on the generic body.
