For our group publication we choose the theme of 'Eyes' as it was a consistent theme throughout everyone's zine, where at least most if not all zines contained some kind of design centred around eyes. We thought this was quite a good theme as it already collaborated all our ideas unintentionally but also we did not just use one publication from one person but combined everyones together.
Developing the existing ideas that we have for the zine, we decided to add elements of text which explains aspects of eyes and facts about it which could enhance the idea as well as highlight what the idea is. We also decided to use various materials in order to print a better quality zine. Using tracing paper and different sized paper where appropriate in order to demonstrate and strengthen the idea of the theme; as well as add interactive elements to the zine in order to possibly attract a group of audiences. The theme also loosely dictates the production the paper as we have taken the idea of the eye test chart with the letter gradually getting smaller but instead have the size of the page smaller and smaller as the zine pages progresses. This could engage the reader to explore the zine as it could add to the dynamic and interactive element to the zine.
Luckily, all of our group members were in and we were all able to create designs which we could all collate and create the zine with.
