Meant this as a back cover where I show an actual picture of my friend but didn't finish or glue it (might finish one day maybe)

# data[].attributes.body
Here is a better picture to see the construction. The accordion binding was not the original plan, but I love how it turned out. I can't wait to give it to my friend.

# data[].attributes.body
Last answer! I knew from the start I wanted to write my friend's answers exactly how she said them so it's fitting that this page is solely her answer, exactly how she said it.

# data[].attributes.body
Last question! This question felt very big and important. While I didn't know what order I would put all these in, I knew this one had to be last.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the only thing I would change about this page is to have the paint be a little more even, but other than that, I think it's cool. I wish it didn't have the essence ad on top, but what can you do?

# data[].attributes.body
Another favorite of mine. This image just looked very powerful to me so I knew I had to use it for this page and I love the solid block of color for the background.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was a hidden blessing that I made this full page at the same time because as I'm trying to figure out the design for the whole zine, these two pages go so well with each other. I think they are the most visually connected.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this was the first official page I worked on. You can tell I'm trying things out, but overall I think it came out well.

# data[].attributes.body
Where is the sideways angle when you need it? I wish I played with orientation more with this zine. Maybe I should've done more or all of the pages like this. I don't know.

# data[].attributes.body
I love this page. I think it's because I love her answer so much. I feel like we've all have felt similar to this.

# data[].attributes.body
This is when I started playing with color. Obviously had to start with this page since it's literally about a color lol

# data[].attributes.body
Halfway done! This is another one of my least favorites. I think it doesn't help that the text is lost in all the different textures.

# data[].attributes.body
Another sideways one lol. This one is probably my least favorite. I don't know, i feel like it could be better. I think if I could make a version 2, this one would look different.

# data[].attributes.body
I got so lucky finding this image in one of the magazines. When I saw it, I knew it had to be for this question.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know why this uploaded sideways lol Anyways, This was probably the easiest page. This whole was front and back was text on an image, but I like this one. I love the contrast with the dark and light.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a simple one but I like how achievement, the thing you would think would be perfect, it cramped and crooked. I like that contrast.

# data[].attributes.body
This page is a little more self explanatory. Again, I would change the text because it's a little hard to read.

# data[].attributes.body
As I made the last of my pages I started to make more traditional collages and had less of a plan for them and I was having a lot of fun. I would change how I added the text tho because it's a little hard to read.

# data[].attributes.body
This is probably another favorite. I like the dreamy vibe it has especially because it's about a recurring dream.

# data[].attributes.body
While my friend hasn't seen the full zine, she did see some of the pages and this was one of them. This is when I stared incorporating the text into the collage itself and where I decided that I liked the look.

# data[].attributes.body
This is probably one of my favorite pages. I just love how it all came together and all the elements work well together. The only thing i would change is to have cut a piece of the background paper that had more stars.

# data[].attributes.body
This was one of my earlier pages. It's simpler than the later pages I made, but I still like it. Simple yet effective

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to go abstract with my table of contents so instead of numbers, I used color and for the table I arranged the colors in the order they appear.

# data[].attributes.body
All my pages are double sided so this is gonna be a pain to upload. This was a last minute idea but I saw this picture of a chair and thought it would be fun to ask the reader to have a seat and learn about my bestie.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the cover of my Zine. It is about my best friend Gaby. She is so talented and spooky! She goes by Gabriela Luna so I used this moon fabric for the cover. We also love liquid death so I one day decided to cut up a can and figure out how to incorporate it so I used it on the cover to hang these beads for the title.

My zine is about a close friend of mine, Arely Chavez. We met in freshmen year of high school when we were gossiping about her sister and drama she had. I had realized mid conversation that I already knew the story, it actually turned out to be that our sisters were friends in high school. My favorite pages in the zine are the one with the snake and the last page. The one with the snake I named “Unspoken” and added very little to it because I wanted it to represent the broken relationship, I think the way I portrayed it was just the way I was hoping to. The last page I named “Rosa Con Espinas” which translates to “Rose With Thorns”, I love this page because it’s the way I view Arely. She’s the funniest person I know and the kindest, but very protective of herself and the people she cares for. Arely has viewed the zine, she said she loved the small details I added. She also mentioned that the “Unspoken” page was perfect because she’s afraid of snakes, which is something I didn’t even know. What I would change is that I would do it on thick paper instead of regular paper because if I messed up when gluing down the pieces, the paper would ripped easily.

What is my zine about?

A interview with my best friend Hope.

What is your favorite page and why?

My favorite page would have to be page 8. The question was “Which living person do you most despise” and Hope answered it with “The president”. I like how simple her answer was and the page layout.

Has the subject of your zine seen the finished work and if so, what did they say?

Yes, her exacts words were “I loveeeee it looks so good.”

What would you change if you could re-do the project?

I struggled a lot with printing out my zine. It actually took about 30 minutes because my printer sucked so I would definitely go to Fedex next time!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Who was your zine about?

My husband, Osbaldo!

2. What are your favorite pages and why?

my favorite pages are spreads 8 and 9 because his answers are ironic. Spreads 5 and 10 are close seconds because I love the photos.

3. Has the subject of the Zine seen the finished work and if so, what did they say?

My husband has seen the completed zine. he loved it and was actually very involved in the process by encouraging me and giving me feedback along the way.

4. What would you change if you could re-do the project?

I would fix the margins on the bottom and give more room for error during cutting. I mentioned in an earlier post that printers do not print edge to edge. Normally, publishers/printers use a slightly larger paper and slice the bleed off. However, I was just using a plain printer at the library and had no idea what the kind of margin it would leave when printing. It was almost spot on, but not quite. it could have benefited with a few more pixels on all sides. When I was cutting the zine and gluing it, I found that because it was not exact I ended up shaving more off than I thought I would.
