Unit X - College Four - Zines - Group Work

After the lectures with Simon, we were put into groups and told to come up with and idea of a zine. I thought the group work was very interesting as it gave a wide range of ideas and inspiration and it meant that jobs were divided up making the zine a team effort. My group met in the special collections, where we were allowed to look through zines that are in the special collection and books that featured a wide range of zines. This helped with inspiration and easier to decide on an idea. 

Our group decided on the idea of creating a Punk zine, as the lectures has inspired us all and it was something that was an interest of us all. We started our research by just collecting general information about Punk zines; the style, the content, the illustrations, the distribution.

These were some of my research mind maps on the idea of Punk.

During the visit in the special collections, I found a book called 'PUNK' which was a book dedicated to the Punk zines and included photographs of the zines and the productions of them. 

These are some images that I felt most inspired by to help with my idea of the Punk zine
