Zine Cover Print Method Idea
A common feature of the responses i'm receiving for the zine around manual and digital typography is around the benefit of manual texture/finish. Many of the quotes discuss how they feel having something physically is better as well as the feel of the manual typography or the texture of the pieces are benefits of the medium, (Larry Stammers, Stephanie Wiehle, Irvan Ridwansyah ect) therefor this need to be reflected in the zine as to give a overall reflection of the responces. Manual Typography and manual production are elements that need to be included throughout in the final zine.
The zine needs to reflect the benefits of manual production but in a medium that can be mass produced so it can be applied to all the range of zine. The idea to do this is to screen print the cover desing, this design will be a typographical piece designed by myself to add my personal style/touch to the zine. Screenpriniting the cover will mimic the textures, and the benefits of manual discussed by the artists included in a typographically in a way that can be mass produced for the range of zines to be set off. This links the production of the zine to the zines content ratehr than just reflecting the digital aspect via the print technique, it added the more imperfect textured manual styles preferred by many of the contributors.
The main content of the zine will be digitally produced as it's currently 50 pages with detailed colours/layers which could not be screenprinited effectively therefore this element of the zine will reflect the benefits of digital production, the easy aswell as the professional perfect finish.
