Zine Idea

As my final piece for complementary studies, I have decided to use an imaginary place as my place to respond to. This imaginary place is somewhere that means a lot to me, and is a real big inspiration to me for the future. I've always wanted to run my own business and have my own design studio, so for this project, I wanted to bring my studio to life a little.

I've always been really interested in interior design, and have grown up designing my bedrooms, and being inspired by beautifully designed houses, apartments and workspaces. So to create my studio, I plan to virtually design my studio. From colour, to texture I want to bring my future design studio to life.

I also wanted to use my future design studio as a place for this project since I want it to be an encouragement to go and work for this place in the future. I want something to work towards and having the place visually created in my mind, I think that will make me work harder for that end result.

I've also decided to have my end response product as a zine. I've always been very interested in zines, magazines and publishing, and thought that having a bookwork final piece would suit this module quite well. I've taken inspiration from many different graphic design zines and wish to take influence from these designs and use them in my own style to create the design of my zine. I plan to create an A5 zine, out of folded over A4 pieces, all printed from home. This way, it maintains the self publish feel that zines are so well known for.
