4. Pagination:
A plan for the pages of your book. What will be the cover? What will be the running order? What will go in it? How many
pages for each item? This is important to get right if you want it to print correctly later on. It will also help you plan the space
you have.

For the front cover I'm going to Base
the Design off the final fantasy V box
art as its my favourite from the
game series.
For the second and eleventh page of the fanzine,
I’m going to create a pattern of three of the
series most iconic characters. That being the
Chocobo, the Moogle and Cactuar.
For the first character Information
page, I'm going to do Cloud Strife
from Final Fantasy VII as I believe its
one of the series most iconic games
as well as one of the most iconic
characters. I shall Be talking about
their appearance, origins and role in
the story of the game.

a lot is know about
Jenova.
The Third character Information

also from Final Fantasy VII.
Sephiroth is the main villain in
the game and I shall Be talking

I'm going to be creating a
minimalistic poster/page

from Final Fantasy IX and
featuring one of his
quotes.
Smilar to Vivi Ornitier, I'm
going to be creating a
minimalistic poster/page
featuring a Moogle from
many of the final fantasy
games and featuring one
their iconic quotes.
For my double page spread
and interview form the
fanzine, I shall be ‘Interviewing
Nobou Uematsu, the music

one if my hero's and someone
I inspire to be. I shall be asking
him questions and answering
as best as I can to make it look
real.
