The document summarizes the research done on various fanzines and game guides to inform the creation of their own fanzine project. It examined fanzines of different styles, both traditionally made and digital, to learn about common fanzine conventions. Game guides and bestiaries were also researched to understand how to effectively layout information. This research will help determine the format and content of the fanzine, which will focus on video games and include a bestiary for one game.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

7. Research summary:
To summarize, my research has helped me learn more about fanzines, such as the conventions and methods typically
used to create them. Fanzines are also independantly made, and typically about niche topics. There is a lot of range in
fanzines, as some can be informational, and some can be used to share fan works of certain media. I researched zines
that were both traditionally made and digitally made, and this was useful as
Alongside my research into fanzines, I researched some game guides & bestiaries, as my fanzine will be about video
games, specifically a bestiary for a game. Researching these game guides helped me learn how to lay out the pages to
provide information.

Context affects what is produced, how it is produced and who can produce it.
Technology is part of the context. Early fanzines were hand made because there was no InDesign or Photoshop. Web-series simply didn’t existing because the web didn’t exist.
People who don’t have access to jobs in mainstream media, to become journalists or editors, might produce work independently of that system.
People who don’t see themselves or their interests being represented in main stream media, might produce something that represents them or their social group.
The political situation will influence what someone decides to make. The cultural situation will influence what people make.
Every media text is a product of its environment, just like people.
Style: The way in which something is said, done, expressed, or performed. The combination of distinctive features of literary or artistic expression, execution, or performance
characterizing a particular person, group, school, or era.
For example, a podcast could be two people talking, it could be interviews and a voice over, it could just be a recording of a teaching session… how it is done, is the style.

How do people making a web series set up their shooting spaces? The more you can find out about technique, the more you can get ideas for your own work.
