ZINE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BRIEF

Interview 4 people with the question: ‘If your house was burning- what would you take? ‘, then document their choice of objects. Using this information, create a A5 zine in which you illustrate a portrait of each person as well as their collections and a close-up of one of the objects.

RATIONALE

I decided to go for a slighly humerous, off-beat approach to the ‘Burning House’ theme. I decided that the cause for the fire was a radiation-leak coming from a crashed satellite which transformed my subjects (as well as their collections) into zombies. I focused on the little things which make each person memorable in my life- the things they do or say, and even the things which irritate me about them.

 

For this project I did two things that I’ve never done before: I chose an over-dose of sickly pastel colours which contrasts with the theme, hoping that it would make the zine more off-beat and unexpected, and I worked mainly in vector which turned out to be a fun experience. I hope this zine translates my style, as well as the enjoyment I found in creating it!
