I have a few ideas for some zines that I would possibly want to create. After completing the photoshop and illustrator labs and learning more about the different features for each, hopefully I can get a better understanding of what I want to do for my zines and can effectively portray my ideas and create some cool zines.
An idea I had for one of my zines is creating an ocean/surfing theme. Being from the Bay Area, California, I spend a lot of my time in or around water. In highschool I played water polo, so I was in the pool everyday during practice and games. I am only about a 20-30 minute drive from the beach so on the weekends I often find myself driving over to the beach either to surf or just hang out on the beach with my friends. I thought it would be a fun idea to capture my love for the ocean and surfing in a zine. One way I could do this is by including different styles of surfboards and maybe surf posters or songs. I could also have different images of surf objects like board wax, wetsuits, etc.
For my second zine, there was a few ideas that I had in mind, so i need to decide which way I want to go. After seeing the examples in class I got a couple ideas. I liked the idea of making a zine about different addictions such as phones, love, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, etc. I also listen to a lot of different kinds of music so I got the idea of making a zine with different artists I like to listen to. I will have to decide what I want to do but I feel comfortable with the options I have thought of.
