Now that I have printed my pages, I cut the page and decided up the illustrations to their designated page and began to glue the sizes of the pages together.

# data[].attributes.body
I kept printing the ruined prints until I got results that where to my satisfaction. I made sure to print 3 of each page as I need to make 3 copies of the zine

# data[].attributes.body
Some of my prints came out smudges, running some of my pages, with this I had to print a lot more to get a satisfying print job

# data[].attributes.body
Noe that I have finished the illustrations, I have printed them out, the first and fourth pages printed on white and the seconds and third printed on pink

# data[].attributes.body
This will be printed on pink paper

I decided to use different kinds of opacity to add more depth and tones to the zine to get around the colour limit of the project, checking with my tutors if I was allowed to do that, which I was

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to change the cover of the zine, deciding to make it more fluid and blend with the theme of alcohol

# data[].attributes.body
Here I began to sketch the first pages of the zine based on my story board.

# data[].attributes.body
After thinking of my colour palette, I needed to go and buy the paper I needed for my project. When going to the store, i saw a soft pink coloured paper that I believe will be perfect for the intimate scenes and setting the mood for the viewers of my zine. As well as this I also chose some regular white paper for the more emotional and beginning scenes of the zine. When choosing the type of paper I wanted, I chose a paper type that was thick but wast like that of card, still having a slightly flimsy form while not being too weak or thin, making it perfect for the gluing book binding method. I chose a more textured paper as well as a rougher texture for my zine would be representative for the subject matter of the zine.

# data[].attributes.body
Because we are only allowed to use two colours for our illustrations, I had to think carefully of the emotions coming across in the Zine. I wanted to use black and blue to set the mood for the dark and depressing emotions that are felt during the very beginning and the end of the zine, which is why I have chosen blue and a dark grey, which I can use varying opacities to add depth within my illustration. However since I wanted to be able to use pink for the more intimate scenes and couldn’t use it for my chosen colours, I have decided to use pink and white paper for my zine, as we can use whatever color paper for it, and when you print something that is white, it won’t print that colour, and so anything I leave white in certain scenes will come out pink due to se rating pages being pink themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
After doing so many test prints that didn’t work, I’ve decided to change the page layout and use the gluing book binding method for my zine.

# data[].attributes.body
No matter how many adjustments I made to print out my template and get it to line up, it did not work. I tried different methods, even trying methods suggested by my tutors and non of them aligned the layout completely. With this I decided to go with a different strategy. I’ve decided to use the gluing method of book binding to make aligned pages, that are also thick and less fragile.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I began to make print tests of the layout, too ensure that I can get the pages to line up when I make and print the zine. After looking at my first lest print, as you can see though the shear paper, the print did not line up, and so I began to make more tests prints

# data[].attributes.body
Here I sorted out the page layout digitally, numbering the pages to make sure that if I use it, that the pages are numbered and sorted accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I sorted out the page layout for a zine made using sewing for book binding, as some pages will be scattered and will be important to organize and figure it out before hand.

# data[].attributes.body
Testing this book binding method with card paper proves to be more effective for this minding method, as the spine of the book looks a lot better and the pages line up very well with better precision.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m not sure yet on which book binding method I want to choose yet, so I am going to explore printing templates/print layouts to see what works best for my binding method

# data[].attributes.body
The next method of book binding I decided to try was one where you glue the pages together, making the pages stronger and less prone to breakage. This is a method I have also tried once in the past, which works better with stronger paper (which I plan to use)

# data[].attributes.body
I found it a little hard to follow the exact book binding method in the video, and so I decided to use my own method to see the pages together, as I have done it on the last a few years ago.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I began to watch a video on a form of book binding, removing with sewing the pages together, as when I make my zine I’ll have to make it into a physical book.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I began to experiment with a simple binding method, drawing various illustrations, mixing illustrations of being upset, and translating various emotions such as sadness, anger, and anxiety through a simple illustration of fish being held up by a crab. I used a elastic band to bind the pages together, however since the illustrations were drawn on a full page and not on the folded sections, and so the illustrations have been cut in half. Learning from this, I will develop and learn different ways of book binding

# data[].attributes.body
Here I made thumbnail sketches of the story board for my zine, outlining the events and portrayal of the story, where the main character meets someone at a bar while drinking and they go back to their home to hook up. However after they hook up, the main character feels a connection with that person, however that person does not feel the same, and doesn’t reciprocate those emotions, only wanting the main character for their body, leaving the main character in emotional turmoil, which leaves them in a cycle of pain which leads them to speak out more empty relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I made a mind map, writing ideas down related to my observational sketches and doodles, as well as personal experiences. With this, I chose a few ideas for the mind map and combined them to make my final idea for my Zine. My idea is to make a Zine about my past experiences with false relationships that only revolve around sex and drinking, the relationships that have no real love and connection, which only uses a person for their body, which leads only to pain, sadness and internal conflict which leads to a continuous cycle

# data[].attributes.body
For the first stage of this project, I began to draw observational sketches of things around me, such as things within my room and things in locations outside my home. I also drew other things, such as doodles, things I thought about and current emotions

For the third project of Illustration Practices: Methods and Processes is one where we are to create an illustrated Zine with no Text, except for the title/cover. With this project we are only to use 2 A3 Sheets worth of paper and 2 colours when illustrating our zine, telling a story about something we’ve seen or experienced

After collecting a wider range of sounds, I organized, cut down and added them to my animation

# data[].attributes.body
While adding some of my sounds, I realized that some of my recordings didn’t match as well in pacing and/or that I needed a bigger range of sounds to make my animation more immersive, and so I will record a bigger sample of sounds to add to my animation

For the third scene of the animation, I animated hands under a faucet with water trickling down the characters hand, collecting water to wash their face

# data[].attributes.body
I sat down and animated until the second scene was done, conjoining the scenes together to see how they flow

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the sketched out outline of the second scene in my animation, where I have the figure moving to look down words

Here I continued to draw and animate the first scene, working with the key frames to make the i between frames of the animation, coloring it as I continued to draw.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I drew the key frames for the hand movements in the first section of the animation

# data[].attributes.body
Now that I am beginning my animation, I am taking it section by section and have began by drawing the first background

# data[].attributes.body
Here I took photos of my bathroom sink and my hand reaching for it, these pictures are to be references for when I draw the background of the sink as well as helping me with key frames for drawing the hands.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I made a simple character sheet. I made the design of my character simplistic, as they will be in a casual setting and simple clothing will be easier to animate. I made the color pallet a rage between a few colours as to be soft on the eyes and cohesive, as too many colours would make it too hectic

# data[].attributes.body
Here I drew a future in a simplified style, trying to figure out what drawing style I want to use in my animation, as when animating, it is easier to use a simpler drawing style.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I began to draw hands in various positions and angles for practice, as I would need to draw hands moving within my animation.
