Using a 4 by 4 grid on indesign insured there was some uniformity within the photos, some photos used a similar layout however because a playful tone was needed some of the spreads didn't use the grid.
- gradients give the background a fun and playful aesthetic, the colours also contrast with the umbrella used in this image and gives it similarity.
- the use of Chinese type gives an intriguing and secretive design.
- overlay of images, the colours reflect each other and therefore helps create a relationship between the two instead of being random / irrelevant.
- the leopard print border creates a fun element, it also reflects the textures in the image.
- this image is full bleed because its a nice image, the pink stands out a lot in the background and the girl thats featured is the focal point of the image.
- the right hand side of this spread will be changed to a pink stock, this will then reflect the pink flowers in the photograph on the other page.
- pink stock used across the spread enables the black and white image to stand out more, it makes the book more playful.
- pink stock used on the right side again to contrast with the black and white photograph.
- the use of negative space creates a minimal and modern layout.
- the overlay of image attracts attention, it also reflects the vice / urban / street photography which was aiming to come across throughout the zine.
- type used in the background - the word 'youth' is repeated and this is the main content throughout the zine.
- each of the image reflect each other and the party scene.
- parallel images used within the grid, the blank space appreciates the photos more
- receptive imagery creates the vice / street design.
- makes the zine more interesting with different layouts
- alex wanted a range of stocks, this image will be on tracing paper, because the colours are bold this would work well on a transparent stock.
- the red background aligns to the red in the image.
- using yellow tape creates a scrap book style but also contrasts well with the red on the page.
- the use of the smoke emoji reflect the content within this image.
- it creates a fun and playful aesthetic - a element that alex was keen on.
- similar to the previous image - the tape creates an idea of a scrap book.
- the same girl is on the image on both sides of the spread, this makes it more uniformed / relevant.
- the image is intriguing, by using the full bleed it makes it seems important. and this picture has a lot of content in. The colours all work really well with each other also.
- the girl in the photo is wearing a tommy Hilfiger top, using his signature in the background of this spread gives it a sense of identity and also reflect the idea of street wear thats featured throughout the zine.
- layered image of a girl waiting at the train station. the image is used twice as it makes it more pleasing and interesting but then also fits in with other layouts featured in this zine.
- the camo print background links to the camo trousers, this is one of the main focal points within this photograph.
- tape used on the back page to let the audience know the photographer, the use of the tape fits in with the themes and styles within the zine, and also a DIY feel.
Feedback from Alex -
"Heyaaa! I love ittt! There's some changes we could make but only small parts , wooo so happy. I have some more ideas for text and noted down some paper types from the gf smith website! Will you be in on Monday?"
To do next -

Meet up with Alex went really well, she has started a work file full of fonts and text which she is wanting in the book. She also wants a few things changing and is going to send over photos that she wants to include more of.
