Fluctuate is a zine project that aims to answer, deconstruct and challenge the idea of perception and opinion through design. All filled with the same content each edit of the zine is styled in a different way to aid in altering the viewers opinion of the story whilst reading.
"I-FLUCTUATE" is the online zine blog edit that aims to connote a narcissistic, strange, nonsensical and impersonal feeling through the use of illustration, edited type and loud opposing colours. The blog is paying homage to a particular part of the story where it talks about using the platform of tumblr to help with finding identity. The addition of music on the blog is a personal touch meant to help viewers get to know me better giving hints and filling in the blanks where the zine does not.
"Fluctuate" is the A5 printed zine edit of the project that aims to connote an elusive, impersonal serious feeling through the use of minimal imagery and abrasive text and colour.
"Who do you want me to be?" is the broadsheet newspaper edit in this project. Playing with the traditional design of newspapers this edit aims to connote a more personal, emotional, sensationalised vulnerable feeling through the use of collage, black and white imagery and newspaper typesetting formats.
