name of Zine.

after brainstorming for over half an hour earlier today i managed to narrow my thoughts and had these.


1.  CHOKE ON BREAD

2. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BIRD AND A SLAG


3. WE SPIT ON YOUR FEET

4. YELLOW EYES

5. I COULD SPEAK I WOULD'NT SPEAK TO YOU ANYWAY




. . .  after this i picked number 3.


i liked this in the fact it was totally out of order and would give my zine a personality and a mind of its own. I also wanted this to sound like the geese, ducks, pigeons were saying this and what they think.

Examples of my interest
favorites i have picked out all on totally different genres.

Junk Food Zine

Station

Six By 10

Jessica Ciocci

personal favorite, loved the contrast from each page and how the portraits he has drawn connect through eye contact.

going back a step 7.2.11

  . . . .  after getting the brief last week i thought long and hard about the community i have chosen
and after looking at the extreme niche zines from the 80s i realised that i needed to go back to the drawing board and research into a more underground theme which many of the punks created



Bird Feeders was my new Community.

Here is one of the four interviews i carried out in the central market, in this example i spoke to Chris aged 22 who works at Lambert shoes.

Finding a community.

Here was my starting point when i first got my Community Brief, realising i needed a topic which was close to where i am based in Lincoln i decided that the indoor "Central Market" would be an excellent place to interact with and get talking to people who work their on the stalls.

I begun by taking a series of photos of the market in general to attempt to get an overall feel of the place before i started my interviews. it also gave me an insight in what it would be like to work in such a cramped, manic environment. 

 

Above shows how some of the stalls are on a low budget
and therefore have to create their own signage by hand in this case simply cutting shapes from card and making a cheap collage.

Community Project 30.1.11

Throughout this online diary i shall keep a track of my research and development work for the zine i am creating. This will help me track my progress and hopefully show a smooth running of how i have answered the brief.
