PPP- STUDIO BRIEF 2- Zine Summer Project

The aim of the zine is to create booklet to sent to the artists, to give away and to personally keep to enhance my practise and to use a guide yet surround the print cost and legal issues around the use of the imager content of the current zine make this unachievable. I do have permission to distribute the imagery of the artists work, even with the instagram sourced link there is still a few issues around this are therefor to avoid malpractise this zine a personal copy.

Also whilst create this zine and after the print i've still receiving a wide range of replied for artists surround the issue i want to include in the final copy, the aim is to included as many different responses as possible to give a overall informative view. It's not a finish zine yet, and the more responses i can get the more informative the final outcome will be, due this is the brief will be carried on over summer as a personal project.

Zines are originally printed cheaply, using photocopied or cheap printiner as they aimed to be made for no profit and sold for a cheap as possible, therefor the a cheaper DIY printing method reflect this represent the nature of the document whilst also allowing it to be send out to all the respondent without costing over £140, (currently it costs £7 and issue to print and i would need to print over 20 just for the contributors). After the footprint talk this riso printing could be a means to produce the book, this is cheaper on a mass scale or screen printing could be done, this is as screenprinint works out cheaper whilst also setting a more personal nature to the piece.

Due to these issues the brief will be continued over summer and the zine re-design to remove any issues around imagery content, i also feel the imagery content distracts slightly for the zine purpose, it's about typography so it should express this.

I've discussed earlier sending out the print to the contributors instead of the final zine due to the above issues, this will be done this week as a thank you with a note explaining that the zine will be sent out after fine tuning of the design. This is as i do want to send the final thing to the artist as a form of self promotion and currently the only piece i've created is the cover, but after it has been re-designer to be purely typographical to reflect my work/style. The aim is to re-write by hand all the quotes in a style inspired by the artist but this will take extensive time, due to the content length.

This final zine will be kept as a personal guide, a inspirational piece for both it's visually and content use as to inform my future practise next year.  The response will be used to inform the design, for each quote the piece will be designed in the method/process preferred by the artist. This will also be a good way to develop my typographical skills in medium i can share showing my professional connections and use in my portfolio to reflect slight industry knowlegde. I'm over all happy with this final piece for personal use yet feel it can be taken forward more and has more potential, therefore this is my aim over summer.
