We visited the JPS campus for this session and looked over the Zine archives from previous students. I’ve never had the chance to go through zines and this was the first time I had heard about something like this. I had never looked at them or investigated what it meant to create them. I like seeing how creative they could be, particularly in terms of presentation. We were given a variety of zines with various topics, such as a lookbook, a photography one, and a mental health one. Alice discussed the various factors that go into creating a zine, such as its aim and content. She also showed us how to fold a zine, which was a fun and helpful skill to have for not just next term’s submission but also future endeavours. One of my favourite zines was the photography one in which there was a lingerie shoot and I loved the rawness of the shoot and the way it was portrayed. Looking at these zines, I’m a little scared by their work and believe there’s no way I’ll be able to pull it off, but I don’t want to start the term with this attitude and I’m looking forward to receiving my final results next term and simply enjoying the last minutes of the course.
