Self Publishing 1

-
Today was an introduction to Self Publishing and the first of three workshops relating to this topic. We started by exploring what self publishing was and making visual and written notes. The main focus of today's workshop was to create a 'Zine' that would be available as a quick reminder of what self publishing was and examples of work. 
Exploring methods of self publishing, creating low budget yet highly influencing forms of communicating work to others. 


Nov.17

I have chosen to look at this workshop again and re-create my own zine with the words used from that workshop. I kept it simple and made typography my main focus, something that I enjoy creating.

Bread Typography

I was looking forward to this workshop but unfortunately had to miss it!  However, using notes and inspiration from Nick's instagram I have completed the workshop in my own time. I chose to keep the letters quite large and visible and used alternative textures for each letter by keeping some as bread and others were toasted.  I used ten different coloured pieces of paper for the backgrounds of each letter, so for the letter 'A' it shows the ten different colours in one GIF, I did this for each letter and this resulted in what would've been a minute long GIF, which isn't really the idea of them.  So I chose alternative coloured backgrounds to create the alphabet GIF.
