OUGD505 Studio Brief 2 - Development - Zine

Another aim was to create a zine which would support the campaign by giving audiences editorial content which would be distributed around various outlets but predominately universities, gigs and events. The purpose of this zine is to be cheaply produced so production costs are low and it is easier to widely distribute. Which is why all of the zine is in black and white except for the one spot colour on the front cover. This also gives the zine a more underground feel, and can be viewed by almost anymore. It uses 90gsm A4 which furthermore has a newsprint quality, therefore people can roll it up and place it un theres bags etc to read later. As this is aimed at students, this would appeal more, particularly with content. The zines prompts you however to the digital platform with the repeated use of the hashtag. This then creates further exposure.

The zine features DJ features - one female and one transgender, my interviews with electronic music collectives, an article from a student now designer and her previous experiences on making music, and the posters for further exposure. As it is cheaply produced, I wanted to keep the layouts simple, but I did however create simple photomontages with nightlife imagery to use within the zine. This imagery will appeal to younger generations as these reinforce the EDM nature of the zine/campaign and also suit the whole disjointed style giving the zine an edge.
