Initial Design Ideas
|
|
At the the beginning of designing my zine I was too focused on including as much information and facts about Chappell that I was not happy with the layouts I had. I then decided to experiment in different ways to make assets for the zine, then put them together.
Design Assets
|
With a star candle holder I found, I used this as a stamp to make star patterns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wrapped the star with string to make a stamp for a different outcome with my paints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I found some jewellery at charity shops in Carlisle, so I scanned them to make some patterns. I also use a graphite pencil to make some designs too.

Acetone Transfer

Using acetone I transferred images of Chappell for the cover my zine. I did several beginning tests with different filters to see which came out the best.

Chappell Eyes
In photoshop I collaged Chappells make-up looks to cut out her eyes for a double page spread.

Experimenting where to place 'The Midwest Princess'

I did eventually realise the pages were on the wrong side so they were switched

Final Zine
|
|
Redesigning
In the end my zine was not coherent - the front page did not match the rest of the pages, and it did not fit the brief. So I have decided to redesign my zine with my already made assets.
