OUGD504 - Design for Print - Zine

Aiming to visually engage the audience with Bristol's type out of context, the zine will be predominantly playful and image based. Used my collage scans so that I can print the publication in black and white, making it cheap to produce. Dedicating each page to a traced letterform to spell 'Bristol'. This is my interpretation of Bristol.

Front Cover:

Titled the zine 'Alright Bristol' because it is a common greeting throughout the city. There is potential to create multiple editions of the zine, each with their own greeting inspired by the different cultures. This would make my publication more commercial value.




Including the rough texture from the rip marks reflects Bristol's 'edgy' culture and intrigues the audience to look closer at the content. 

To create consistency and a continuous flow, I placed each letter centrally on the left page and artwork on the right. Each character was found in Bristol:






Being playful with the typography is appropriate for a zine as they are an expressive platform:



There is more opportunity to be expressive in order to engage Bristolian's, especially with the typography.
