Having collected items around the Northern Quarter we thought it would be a nice idea to have the zine come with extras. I personally like collecting postcards/ posters/ inserts of design artwork and stick them up on my wall, so we thought it would be more interactive and interesting these items accompanying the zine. We thought a strong illustration would be best for the poster as the final edited zine didn't contain any pure illustrations. John created these quirky and comical designs ( middle image) that depict the sisters from the motion picture 'The Shining' as hipsters. As for the postcards we used all the left over designs that didn't make it into the final zine, this meant that everyone's work was included and would be seen at the exhibition. Looking back on our research of zines, we referenced OWT creative's issue#8 'Love & Hate' for it's presentation of the zine and decided to use brown paper bags to hold all of the extras as well as the final zine. I thought this was great way put everything together and the bags make it more personal.
