Project Requirement:
Create a zine using serial imagery (versus sequential imagery). Content is up to you. If the serial imagery also happens to be sequential, that is ok, but SERIAL is the requirement. Can be original images or found images. Can be scans or photos of original artwork you’ve made, or pictures from your phone, or screenshots from the internet, anything really. Digitally made in InDesign, not physically collaged or hand-drawn. In class we will discuss how to print and how to assemble / fold / bind your zine so don’t worry about that part yet.
The InDesign Tutorial 2 in the Files Tutorials section outlines the page requirement and size. See the “Contents” section of the tutorial.
- Each page must have at least one image. Can be laid out on the page as a tiny thumbnail or as full bleed, taking up the whole page. Meaning that within the parameters I’m giving, the layout is completely up to you.
- Every spread must contain text (can be something as short as an image caption, or can be the original text you write, or can be found text, etc. Can be short just need to see the inclusion of some type of text per spread). Remember, a spread is two pages next to each other. So two pages next to each other are one spread.
- The content of the zine must be different content than your single-page Serial Image Layout we did Tuesday.
For this project, I want to focus on the image and let and pictures speak. I choose the avant-garde headpieces as the theme and select headpieces by different artists. For the front and back covers, I chose the two images purposely that I thought these two images had weird appeals which could help to catch the reader’s attention and leave a deep impression. I didn’t put text on the covers because I don’t want any text to ruin the visual effect of the two images. For pages inside, I placed the designers’ names beside the picture. Below are the jpeg files.
