For the final zine there is current 50 pages, along with the cover this means that the stock for the publication will have to be quite thin as to fold. 120 gsm Matt Stock was the first choice as it's thick enough not to leak though on to the corroposnding back page but after folding over as a test the correct amount of pages in the publication felt very thick and obstructed the full open of the document. Therefore the stock will have to be changed to 90 gsm stock as this is the thinnest stock choice available this will have to be used, this is very thin and does mean that the pages will be slightly see though so the back image can be seen but this does add the the 'zine' cheap feel for the document, fitting with the aim of creating a light carry-able booklet .
The cover of the document will be screen printed as to fit with the manual and digital concept, as the pages inside will be printed on white stock the cover stock will be a thicker GSM smith colour stocked. A range of GFSmith stocks have been ordered based around the pastel colour scheme in the zine imagery content, this will all be screen printed onto and the most successful print/colour scheme will be used for the cover of the final zine.
It will be very costly to send out and print copies of the zine to send to the contributors as was the first idea, this is because the final document cannot be screenprinited due to the closing of the screenprint studio over summer which was the initial idea. Therefore these printed cover experiments will be sent out instead as a 'thank you' for their quotes to the contributors instead.
