What I'm happy with:
- the overall effect of the zine is pretty dark and evocative, but with an edge of humour which reflects Carters dark humour
- I'm pleased with the fact that I haven't over worked this zine as it was supposed to be a quick task, I've used methods that I learnt last year like collage and scanning/ photo manipulation to make the process a bit quicker
What I feel I could have improved:
- although it didn't take too long to make it does look obviously rushed and messy in some places. The page with the blood drops on especially offends my eyes as I'm such a perfectionist
- I also realised I literally didn't include any drawings that I'd done in response to the author or her work
My feedback:
- the images and quotes linked well
- really like the paper-cut type
- really clear facts about the author
- good use of colour
- could include more of your own drawings
- not sure who the author is
- include more about the work of the author
- could of cut the edges with a guillotine, to make it look neater
My Thoughts:
- Although I am mostly happy with the outcome of my zine, I do agree with the more negative feedback. Looking back at the zine it really isn't clear who the author is if you're not me and haven't been researching her all summer! I can also see that although it was good that I included a lot of information about the author, I think I got too wrapped up in that and forgot to put any effort into the craft of the zine. I think considering this was just a quick exercise I'm happy with the outcome as I think its made me realise how exciting and engaging I find my author and it makes me excited to carry on making work based around her and her work.
