Zine IAR 110 10.18.07

Our assignment was to create a zine using one of our design research topics as its focus. I chose Interior Spaces, Bedrooms. Bedrooms don't have all the nifty gadgets and widgets of bathrooms and kitchens, and I wanted to look at the ways people approached a space mostly used for sleep, intimacy, and relaxation.
I usually go minimalist in my design and this time I wanted to be a little more abundant. So I often have more than one photo per page and I included the thumbnails and Beatle quotes to add a unifying element and a fairytale-like mood. The result is okay, but not as satisfying as I'd hoped. The need for absolutely, totally straight edges is painfully clear in a couple of places. If I did this again I would either choose a more forgiving layout or I would mark up each page (like we used to do for out high school newspaper and measure every cut and paste to the nearest 32nd inch.
