The Idea - Brainstorming Session

When we sat and planned our ideas, we began to rotate the brief around specific keywords that could prove handy, when thinking of a theme for our Zine project. 

The Planning:

Keywords: 

Starting with broad expansive words, such as "pattern" or "love", we quickly became massed with words, and possible ideas of interest. This spanned into a "Zine-a-week" theme, regarding one of those words, and how we personally react with the subject matter. The "Eyebrows" were going to be our first random keyword zine, featuring various drawings of... you guessed it, eyebrows. However due to time constraints and planning, we felt that this particular subject was a little too sparse and simple for the overall goal, and decided to move onto a more solid content idea. 

Format: 

Print and layout are very important for us overall, and we stormed several ideas out in terms of production, such as different methods of binding, and ways of printing, such as Risograph and Lino methods, to keep our pictures in a similar unity. An A5, stitch bound Zine, would be ideal to present our ideas.

Zine decisions: 

From what I personally gathered from our brainstorm, we aim to produce a form of A5 publication, that is sticking to a broader subject of place, particularly a trip to given locations. We can use the trip to gain a personal recollection through photography,drawing,digital adjustments.  

My personal response is something that I would like to form in tribute to the old zines of the past, a form of visual "mash up" or along those lines. 

Further Zine Based rules and ideas will be decided in due time.
