Project Description:
For this project we were required to create a zine, a self articulated piece of work. The zine is to be created by identifying a social issue from a selected movie and taking a stand on a social issue, where by a multitude of people are affected. The zine is to have both textual and visual content with six pages, including a front and back cover.
Materials Used:
Digital media, paper and ink pen
Reflection:
The first step of identifying the social issue was by re-watching the movie, I realised how critical this step was in order to identify and take notes on how the social issue, for which I choose objectification of women, is illustrated in the movie( Ex Machina notes-1alih90 ). Once I was able to identify my story plot I began to focus on the colours that I wanted to use. I choose shades of pink and purple in order to represent feminism for the cover and last page. As a symbol that feminism is not lost amidst this sort of brutality, where as the pages inside are only black and white that represents the loss of innocence within all this darkness in the world. This process helped in understanding how critical every element is in creating a piece of artwork. The size of the zine is also used to illustrate how such a big issue is often overlooked at.
