The Posterzine

In this Process and Production session, we were asked to create a poster zine using your self-portrait as the subject. Using various methods we were asked to develop and expand on a very familiar image, collectively these abstractions will create poster zine, an available and straightforward process of self-publishing. This workshop is part of term 1 self-publishing workshops in which we are continually rejuvenating ideas surrounding self-publishing.

We started by destructing our university photos, making them obscure. We then had to draw a developed idea from this. 

 
We then photocopied our faces and similarly destructed these. We were then introduced to halftone print by which we then had to recreate one of our creations. I created two of these. 

 

I researched into Nicks work and found that halftone is a common theme within his work. 
Overall I think that the workshop produced a lot of work. I am already familiar with working with halftone from using it on a previous project and will definitely try this technique again. We were also introduced to a workshop that Huddersfield held by which students came in and created portraits based on halftone prints. This is something I would love to do and recreate.
