I took five different books in hardback, which a few of them
are stitched and some of them are glued. I definitely prefer the one that has
been stitched as they look more professional and the pages adhere better.
I have been asked to
do a research about “ fanzines” . Lucky
enough I can give a few examples from my life when I was very active member of
fan clubs as a teenager. Well that was ages ago; however, I can remember my
contribution towards the final look. My
first one was the school fan magazine that I was responsible for the graphic
design . It contained the news, competitions
from my school . Sometimes I managed to get an autograph from the famous
Polish person for this magazine.
Two magazines were about my favourite Polish musicians:
Justyna Steczkowska and Mieczyslaw Szczesniak. Unfortunately, I do not have any of them in my archives
I have managed to do a research about fanzines on internet
and now I can see how different they are from a design perspective. They have
limited amount of colours and tones. I
may even say that they are black and white usually as that is the cheapest way
of producing the illustration. They
treat different subjects as different people, who are trying to protest against
different problems, produce them. Some of them are less serious then the other.
