The Off Cuts exhibition has help to an extent as it has shown me the ways in which you can make and develop your ideas into a book zine. The zines that have been there were constructed very personally, seeing the ways in which people worked and the examples on the shelves up close shows the difference in how people made there ideas even on the stock zines they have received to work on, with the use of Bold colours, Sketches, wide range of colours and monochromatics.
This has helped in regards to the completion of a mini version of what I hope to achieve in my exam.
The zines that i have seen today were very personal, simple and made up of a small collection of the artist's work with in that particular theme. The typography has a very wide variety and the images in the zines where both extensive and repetitive. I found that the Zines all had a story behind them, due to there personal link with the artist. Most booklets were very small in size but were filled with information. The Zine had very distinctive colours on its exterior I believe that the purpose of this was to attract viewers. these are all things that I will have to take into consideration whilst making my typography Zine. It has to be Personal, It has to have a variety of styles and materials used must reflect the hand made elements of the design.
