Zines

Sean Brooke - Effigies
Effegies is a companion zine by Sean Brookes for his
 show at Olio Gallery in Victoria, British Columbia. Brooke’s
 paintings are a surreal representation of malformed demigods, a
 commentary on the exploitation of nature / natural
 resources, and serves as a metaphor for the human
 framework. The artwork highlighted in this zine are a
 series of gray scale hand drawn illustrations, both new and old.

Cordell Klier - Abstract and Texture





I think that this zine is really effective in the 
way it uses colour and texture.

I am looking at these so that i can start to 
think about how i am going to approach 
my zine. I love how simple this zine is, with just
a splash of colour it makes beautiful pieces of art

I have researched through many graphic design quotes to find some that start with "k" , "n" and "b" and these are my favorite of what i found.

There weren't many "k's" but the one i did find i really like. I now have to decide which i am going to use and which are most appropriate for my design.
