One of the main points I had found when researching this was that the creator has complete control. Not only this but they endure copious amounts of passion and interest in the subject matter. I adore this freedom and have the skill to interpret different media into one specific zine, allowing the reader to gain their own persepctive.

When initially set this brief knowing where to start was a struggle. When further research into what a fanzine is and what it consists of intrigued me and got my mind ticking, below I have attached some ideas of minimalist ideas that I can reflect and refer to when brainstorming.

I found that LGBT was such a dramatic and important part of Brighton. Some would say that doing a project about this is very cliche I feel like it could be overworked but if you twist and shape it to create something new and fresh whilst still getting you point across. From this we went to create our concept board. Pictured below…

I began this project looking broadly into subcultures and which areas I could specifically focus on. I have created a little illustration for each subculture I researched.

Punks 

Minimalists 

Hipsters
