Ampersand - Final Dev and Submission

First deadline draws near. 

The tension kicks in as we all work hard to submit what we can, as we craft our zine work. 

Progression: 

I now have a solid and complete work for the Ampersand Zine, which conveys a small message through simple visual means. 

Using the cobbled street from the drifter/playscape work, and the hand photo i used earlier, i decided to combine the two with lettering, making a "black spot" style murder work. 

Using further editing, and some type manipulation I created the final work, using a mix of digital collage, and hand drawn elements, with added photography. 

I'm pleased with the result. It doesn't go overboard on any excessive intricate linework, and tributes the old punk style collage of the 70s zines, discussed awhile ago. 

Symbolica Mortem - (symbolic death) 

with the general public never truly understanding the origins of the symbol they always recognize and see, the ampersand gets it's revenge, in a forensic style pun collage. 

After handing the work to chloe, she asked me to make a lighter version, so the risograph would detect the image better, which may mean a colour change. The tones should work well hopefully...
