Although I have decided to staple my zine this semester, as I like the DIY aesthetic of it, I would like to experiment with hand binding next semester, if I choose to make a zine, but my zine may turn out to be too thick to do so this time. I also want to look …

Zine
As I just finished creating my zine I thought I'd document some of the techniques I used throughout. The content of my zine included my photography, and the design was all drawn by hand aka the lyrics and graphics, which I scanned in and manipulated on Photoshop by adjusting the levels or hue/saturation, or using …
Survey/Poll Research
Before I started making my zine, I did a poll on Instagram, to gain a better understanding of who is interested in politics in Northern Ireland/the youth (my target audience.) With an election coming up, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to see if the younger generation will step up. I asked only those …
Consent forms

Shoot 2
Shoot 2 prep went well, but the shoot itself had a rocky start when my photographer cancelled on me. She said she could do the day after which I happened to be on the rota for work for, but thank god my boss let me swap swifts and I got the MUA and models sorted …
Prep
Making my own chokers for my 2nd shoot (studio) to go with the clothes I've ordered and styled! DIY is key in the punk movement so I had to try a lil myself. I've also hand-painted this sheet to hang as a backdrop. It includes some controversial slogans, and messy handprints etc. I know studio …
Shoot 1
Shoot number one complete!! My first shoot went well, besides all of us freezing out butts off, especially the poor model, and both the model and photographer being late. I did the makeup for this shoot and styled it. I really love how these outfits turned out, especially the suit and the green skirt which …
