Such a nice day.

Perfect to take some pictures for this project.
The sun always cheers you up.
And i love flowers.
I took my little sister for a walk to the woods and through some fields.
But she's a slow coach as she's only 7, so probably will go out another day on my own to take some better ones.

ZINE- what should i use as a front cover?

This one's my personal favourite...

but can you read it?

It's meant to say 'CHILDHOOD FEARS'

CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE...

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH ONE YOU PREFER!! 

ZINE- Sorting out the font

... for the front page.
i decided the the font i made needs to have a black border... so that's what I've done...

Stuck the letters on to black card...

And then cut them out.

I LIKE DOING IT THIS WAY!

ZINE- ideas for front cover

How it started...

I love to cut.

Black.

White.

Now time to decide ideas for the back page.

ZINE- Photographed

I did't want to use plain paper as the background so I have used paper from a graph pad.
I love all the triangles, i am verrrry keen on geometric shaaapes.
I took photos on location... around the home.
The photos i chose to use out of the bunch, i cut according to where the monsters would be jumping out.
(I enjoy doing most things by hand)
I drew out loads of different monsters on cartridge paper because it's not as white as plain paper.
I drew the monsters in pen and did a thick black outline around them and then cut them all out.
Drawing the monsters was the most fun.
I stuck the photos on the graph paper using blue tac, and then placed the monsters in there also using blue tac. The reason why i use blue tac is because unlike using glue you can move it all around as much as you want. The main reason why i used blue tac was to create more of an effect that the monsters are coming out at you because it propped them up.
This was brilliant when i set up the lighting and took photos of them because of the shadows they created.
Then using pen i added the type at the top of the paper.

I just need to do a front cover and back.

AND THEN make it into a zine.

WOO!

ZINE- Scanned

AND THIS IS THEM SCANNED.

<3

I love stars.

I really need to start finishing things!
especially before i upload them onto here.
but i just love to blog!
Here are some stars i've started to draw. nothing special but they're fun.
especially the little ones.

Geek babies.

For some reason i started combining two ideas i had.
One of geeks and that babies make me happy.
So I done some geek babies.
I did these in mono print.                                   Mono Print.

Drawing on reverse side.

Mono print.

Drawing on reverse side.

I wanted to play around with mono print so that's why i did these in it.

But obviously it comes out too dark for it to be a proper happy image.

I prefer the drawings rather than the mono prints.

Playing around.

With the geek picture.
More playing and drawing to come.

This is my tired effort.

BASIC IDEA.

What makes you happy? Self Defined.

These might be the start of my image making.

These are just a rough basic start. 

More will become of them.

Old films make me all happy inside!

Turns out kittens make quite a lot of people happy.

Tomorrow i'm going to go out and take some photos to add to my drawings and this project.

Hope it's good weather for it!

Countryside! YESS!

Yeah i'm back home for easter to lock myself away and get all this work done!

Holly says freshly dyed hair makes her happy.

Charlie in my class says Whales make her happy...

so here you go.

Babies make me happy!

An idea- self defined.

Maybe a book of faces that change when you turn the page.
This i did in my sketchbook and got this idea from it.
Just be happy.

Ideas and research for Self defined.

You can't solve the world's problems so start with the people around you...

What do I make?

I have a couple ideas.

I'll explain later on.
