I can't believe I finally have my printed version of my Zine! Its so weird actually holding it in real life rather than looking at it on a my mac! Im so glad that I've managed to pull this off I mean countless times of checking if everything is ok to send to print and its finally done. I am proud of being...
Learning to decide what time of typography to use within my Zine wasn't easy. I had, what seemed too many ideas for me to decide which font to go for. I chose to go for a basic font which related to my subculture along with this I used the drop shadow tool and typography text tool on photoshoot. I tried to make it...
We had a go at practising the making of some pages within a zine. I loved the idea of using Paint along the edges of some of the images. I mean I wouldn't call myself a painter but I do enjoy using paint to create a unique vibrant effect. I chose these photos as I feel they really incorporated my style and sense...
I always thought that Interviewing someone would be such a daunting task! However, I found that its actually pretty easy and interesting to find out facts about someone you don't really know to well. Ffion kindly wrote her answers down on paper which was handy after to analyse and gage what kind of information I could gather from them. It was interesting to...
Thinking for a name to call my zine was a difficult task, I mean narrowing down all the different names & combining them with my subculture. So after a lot of procrastinating and putting off thinking of a name I eventually came up with Girl Vs Grunge. I thought to go with a basic aesthetic & this way its a easy simple name...
Who knew looking for print shops could be so exhausting! I mean I know nothing about printers (don't get me wrong) but by actually visiting different printing shops around Cardiff I managed to gather some very interesting information (who would of thought of the word interesting and a printer shop in the same sentence?) Whilst visiting the first print shop (Cardiff print centre)...
As I already decided the shoot location, I had a very lucky opportunity to ask someone I knew from high school! Funny how you bump into people at train stations & suddenly realise how much you actually have in common! Ffion was a lovely model to work with, & we managed to work together. I made sure that she had some outfits which...
Locations... where do I start.. I'd always had a clear idea of the locations for my shoot. Somewhere with graffiti, rustic, grungy vibes. Finding the perfect location for my subculture wasn't difficult because luckily there was lots of interesting things that along the way I found fitted my theme well. I love photography & especially this aspect finding areas which I never knew...
I've got to say I absolutely love creating mood boards & I think personally its a great way to connect ideas together and be more creative! I love the ideas that you randomly get in your head whilst your are rummaging through Pinterest. I mean when you find a photo that relates to your project & get inspired by thats a bonus for...
Where did the subculture grunge come from? How did become so popular? Is it Retro? These are all of the questions i've asked myself throughout looking into the subculture of grunge. I've found that the term ''grunge'' is used to define a specific moment in the 20th century of music and fashion. Along with the youth movements often associated and compared to grunge,...
Grunge has always been a recurring fashion trend that keeps coming back every year with a new twist. I always think of all the 80's/90's rock bands whenever I hear the word grunge. The thing is, grunge has been done so many times with all kinds of new fashion statements. I've always been intrigued to find out more about grunge as a subculture....
