This week I have needed to start planning pages for my Zine. Admittedly I haven’t gathered as much research as I should have so far, however I am struggling with time management and am feeling slightly overwhelmed. I feel slightly pressured in keeping up with my group so I don’t let them down, and I feel like I haven’t been as prepared compared to my last module, so therefore I am not feeling as motivated and creative in this project, no matter how much I try. Last module I spent most of my time researching rather than focusing on my outcomes, so this module I wanted to balance it out more, but without a plan, it has caused me difficulty.

I have continued researching Realism in Photography and a Zine I found that stood out to me, named IAWADBD. I also experimented with Artist Response, where I created a similar picture with the resources I had around me, which were coloured pencils, to experiment with creating a similar affect on the viewer.

During this week I met up with my Group to discuss our pages together as well as the Front cover, Back cover and order of our sections of the zine. We also discussed appropriate orders and ideas for our own individual pages to develop from. This is where I found the order and content I wanted to include from my research I had completed over the past few weeks. I want to include an article, a photoshoot, a quiz and a Mental Health Help and Advise page. This was mostly inspiration from the Zine I was previously researching as well as the original link of Social Media. I wanted to spread awareness through a creative approach. I figured the remaining pages I could use for the creative approach I had in mind.
