circumference

a zine about circles and other round things

when we were given the brief to create our first mafazine by using the 8 page fold booklet template, I wanted to see how that format could be exploited. Instead of an A4 rectangle I decided to use a circular piece of paper to experiment, and added other circular and curved elements. in doing this it seemed obvious that that was what the fanzine should also be about. I have been using circles and other round things in my work, so I added text describing the various parts of a circle and then named all the round objects I could think of in the time available. I think the zine as an object is quite effective. I have since revisited the 8 page booklet format to create the ‘commonality’ zine, but on that occasional tried out a 16 page version.
