Mini Exhibition and Disney Zine

We had to set up a mini exhibition at the end of the term before breaking for Christmas, Critical Journal time.

To display all the work from the beginning of the year including the personal  development of our business cards and portfolio's. 

In between the rush of prepping my work I was able to spend some more time on my Disney Zine by adding some more sketches. It's still a work in progress but I'd rather take my time with it as opposed to rushing the final product - #which is fine as it isn't the final piece for the brief. 

 

Alice Zine

My final zine was based around Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland, I worked with both illustration and photogtaphy to create my pages and in the final design neglected to include a front and back page. The format of the book worked like a carousel to ensure each reading experience would be unique as there was no set beginning or ending. Some pages were upside down to further emphasise the chaos that was wonderland. The book worked as an embodiment of escapism to the reader. 

 

Disney Zine

 We had a mini zine project where we were taught how to make and bind our own books, I based my first book around the fantasy and reality aspect of Disneyland. A form of escapism on a massive scale, I made the images appear as if shot on a polaroid camera and added faults with the processing by adding white spots. The main aspect was the blurring of visitors in the background - the 'anchor' of reality. The book was to be viewed as the eye point of someone within the dream that was Disneyland. 

Below are a view examples of the images used. They were presented on handmade papers with relevant illustrations alongside and merging on each page to give it a diary like appearance.
