I recently attended a week of lectures called 'Creative Futures'. It was four days full of lectures about our futures in the creative industries and, despite how worn out I was afterwards, it was surprisingly interesting. The subjects of lectures included Augmented Reality, An Unlikely Career in Animation and Versatility: Your Key to Standing Out.
To be assessed for this week, we were told to make a zine about the week.
"Zine" is short for fanzine. For all intensive purposes, a zine is a cheaply-made, cheaply-priced publication, often in black and white, which is mass-produced via photocopier and bound with staples.
Most zines revolve around a music scene of some sort, but others are dedicated to artwork, poetry, cartoons, editorials and short stories. Because zines do not have any sort of corporate backing, they are very rugged, individualized, and much more charismatic than larger, more popular magazines whose content is often dictated by their advertisers. (Defined by Urban Dictionary)
Here is my finished artwork for the zine:
