Fishy zine.

Final piece of work for my activism class. I made another zine. 

This time using the back poster as a way of giving all the facts information,

 allowing the folded story on the other side to remain more subtle and aesthetic. 

This also managed to resolve a project I worked on before summer on the same topic, where I couldn't quite find the balance of information and pleasing aesthetics. 

So the basic concept is the first page with loads of fish and the words "Plenty more fish in the sea" and as you turn the pages there are less and less fish until the last page where there is just one with the ending punctuation for the sentence, a question mark. The idea is that that would create enough intrigue to draw you in to opening it out and finding out more about what's actually going on, with a link to a website to further your curiosity on the subject.

I reckon it'd be nice printed on some sort of recycled paper. Sustainability! Yay!

Buy Nothing Day!

This is my poster for International Buy Nothing Day, which is happening on the 26th November in Canada... and presumably other countries internationally. The idea is that she can fly higher and higher by dropping the bags from her hot air balloon. A sort of metaphor for freeing yourself from spending and consumerism, which can really weigh you down. Medium-ly pleased with it. I'll scan my sketch for it in soon because I think I still like that more! Plus it's nice seeing the whole process. I have the crit for this tomorrow in Illustrative Activism so we shall see how it goes!

Here's a few other variations. 

Smaller text... better?
