“Zine Making”
This project involved me collating a variety of different images from the Library, which I liked and that represented my personal interests and inspiration. These images allowed me to understand who I am as a designer as it gave me an idea of the sort of techniques and styles which I could possibly use in future projects. During this project I learned how to create a “Zine”, this is a booklet which can be used to showcase images which are relevant to a specific project, therefore providing the designer with themes, inspiration and colour schemes for design ideas. The zine is very quick and easy to make and thereby can be used as a mood board for projects, in particular I found that creating a zine for my “assembly Tower” project was incredibly efficient and gave me an understanding into how I want the space to be designed.
The zine workshop has inspired me to continue to create zine’s for every project I undertake, this is because it allows me to easily consolidate my ideas and inspiration which can be presented to future clients in a more efficient and effective way. This process has allowed me to understand that as an interior designer it is important to gain as much information from your client as possible. This will therefore allow me to use the zine process to concisely create a collection of images which are relevant to the client’s needs and requirements for that particular space. If I was to complete this project again I would change the way I attached the images to the zine. Rather than sticking the images to the zine I would arrange them in a specific way on the computer and print the A3 sheet out so that the images are correctly placed in order to make the finish of the zine a higher quality.
