DECONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIEF

As the two members in my team where unsure on the brief, and they had a lot of questions, such as 

1. What is a Zine

2. What is the point of a zine

3. What are Nursery Rhymes

4. What is the aim of a Nursery Rhyme

So we took it back to the start, forming visual and analytical brainstorms, breaking down meanings and definitions of the both NURSERY and RHYME, and took the project on from there. 

I had originally purchased a book a few years back for a previous project which I knew would aid them both in terms of visuals and what a fanzine looks like and does. 

Fanzines, Teal Triggs

This book is fantastic as it shows the developments of fanzines over the years, and the different styles and techniques that where used.

Our first call of research was to look at different illustration styles, designs, book making/paper folding, typographic forms and styles, and so with this we headed to the V&A, Foyles Bookstore, and spoke to people in both of these companies on where else we could go to view and see Zines. 

I purchased a book whilst at Foyles, that I hope we could use in terms of final production as the book has fascinating forms of book making.
