Final Publication Research

For part of this project we were instructed to create a publication. I decided to create a poetry zine in the style of 1970s punk zines.

I looked at several zines for inspiration; they all used hand cut/hand written methods which I wanted to replicate to an extent on the cover. This would mean that the cover wouldn't use a grid as such, but would have pieces of paper cut to look organised on the page.

The illustrations were inspired by Mark Wigan's punk style in order to give the cover vibrancy and to fill the page fully. His designs are full of action and movement, which I felt if confined to a grid might ruin the random and energetic style.
