Final Evaluation
Throughout my zine I have chosen to have variety within my zine. I choose to create interesting pages that captured the audience's attentions. With the cover I chose to cut out the title which revealed the colours on the next page. This is interesting as from different angles the colour changes. From a far it appears to be one page but when interacted with it surprises the audience that the letters are missing. I chose to set out my zine in the order of the movements. This will make the zine have a chronological order. Also I decided to separate my image from my text. I chose to do this as it allows the audience to focus on the image rather than read the text. Moreover I chose to over lap certain images which allow the audience's eyes to flow smoothly between the pages. Also I decided to choose backgrounds/colours that related to that movement. This links the various movements together creating categories.For fonts I decided that easy to read fonts were easy to use. Also this allows my audience to easily read the quotes I have use throughout. These quotes I have chosen reflect the ideas and opinions at the time. These mainly are from the artists themselves. I believe by doing this the audience is able to gather an idea of what the emotions and ideas they had at the time. For the cover of my zine I decided to go plain with a dark grey cover and cut out the letters the reveal a bright colour. This makes it eye catching as the audience can interact with this cover. Also it is abstract as the letters are separated making ti harder to read. However this makes the audience discover the title of this zine rather than just looking and knowing. I believe my Op Art/Memphis pages are the most successful as they can be interacted with and are bright and colourful. Moreover these are successful because I decided to use colours relating to the time. The composition if these pages reflect those of the time. Also the images are incorporated into the background making the pages seamless. Throughout this zine I have used my skills to develop and create this zine. I used my digital skills such as Photoshop to develop pages and edit images. However I also used physical skills such as sewing to stitch my zine together. This makes mine unique against the other zines who just used staplers. This also shows craftsmanship which I like to show in my work. For example, Memphis pages.
Throughout this project I have enjoyed researching into the various movements as I have been able to look into what styles, influences and ideas artists have had before me. Also I have enjoyed working in these styles and it made me create new modern pieces that were exciting and inspiring. In the future I would like to research into different book styles to develop my zine further. Also i would like to look into other movements that we didn't research to gain new and exciting ideas.
