Zine Collaboration: Updated Outcome

Upon reflection of this brief the designer felt it was appropriate to experiment with reducing the file size of the zine in order to see if this would increase the photo quality and reduce pixilation (see figure 1-4). This worked to an extent with some photos becoming clearer however there is still some pixilation throughout the publication (see figure 3). However I encountered some issues when binding the publication such as aligning the pages correctly to create the crease, leading to a spin being created with two creases. This use of a spin works well to add structure to the zine due to its small nature, however when staple binding the publication the stapler malfunctioned and stapled the zine sideways leaving some marks within the centre fold and on the spin (see figure 3). However the designer felt further experiments where necessary due to time constraints as other briefs needed to be prioritised and finalised. Overall the final zine works well to communicate the concept, like previous experiments with the reduction in document size allowing for the photo quality to be improved.
