Ideas Moving Forward

Brainstorming ways to push the zine further/refine the message and appearance:

transform it into more of a catalog of punk work, add lots of source material, images of punk culture and punk type mixed, with informative text at the beginning of the zine
make it into a whole DIY zine, give people materials to create their own punk type, almost like a paper doll set, give info up front and then the rest can be fun materials to play with
make it more “collagey”, have important information at the beginning and then the rest can be fun exploration of punk type and collage, make it more like fun art than an informative zine (see Fazine example below)

Edits I want to make:

get rid of the square aspect ratio, would like to do a more traditional rectangular one, found the square limiting in terms of placing content
reconsider image treatment, consider if turning the zine to black and white would be effective or if it would remove informative color on images
reconsider headers, move away from handwritten or consider making them consistently handwritten in the same “font”
present written information in a more streamlined, simple way. This could mean simple gridded layouts at the beginning of the zine, maybe with fun elements like page numbers or marginalia. Should look somewhat academic but have hints of the content.
1. does it need pictures sprinkled throughout to illustrate the points of the paragraphs? What would this image treatment look like?
2. could be side by side spreads with plain gridded text, and then funky collages on the page next to it to illustrate writing
add section on punk today, what graphic designers can learn from the punk ethos
