- 2. Context This fanzine wasproduced in early 2015 for the university of the arts London . They produced a 24 page fanzine with original stylised drawings made through digital drawing . This product was made due to the author being told that games were “pointless time wasters” inspiring them to talk about the importance of videogames. Style The style of this magazine has a very select colour pallet of red,blue,white and black these are traditionally used in newspapers giving the fanzine a sophisticated and sensible feel. The illustrations are all based off of or interpretations of existing art in a unique style. Techniques This fanzine was made digitally and exclusively made for online reading. With the artwork being made presumably within Photoshop and the main bodies being word processed. These are techniques that I will use in my own product. The fanzine also uses a mix of pages taken up by images or a traditional format Content The content itself includes articles about other products written by the author and how they link to his argument, the text also uses supportive quotes i.e. Andy Serkis. And as previously mentioned all images are original drawings unless stated on the penultimate page.

The font resembles an indie coffee store with a mix of serif and sans serif fonts Techniques This fanzine was made through digital methods and made for online reading. With the artwork being made presumably within Photoshop; the photos being taken by the creator and the main bodies being word processed. These are techniques that I will look to use within own product. The fanzine also uses a mix of pages taken up by images or a traditional format Content The content is mainly facts and statements of different types of coffee and what likers of a specific coffee are like. There are also single and double pages dedicated to original images

- 5. Context This fanzine isvery modern in which the creator does interviews with artists and was created with modern programmes. This is also the authors only fanzine. Style This fanzine has a very gothic style with scanned in original artwork and photos as well as barbed wire acting as segmentors and an entirely serif font. The colour scheme is entirely black and white (except the front and back cover ) which also add to the gothic aesthetic. Techniques The fanzine itself was most likely assembled in a graphic design programme i.e. Photoshop or InDesign. Some of the photos and illustrations are definitely hand drawn and scanned in , which is something I can use in my own work.

In terms of images the content includes photos of buildings, tapestry creatures, interviewees and her own art
- 6. Context This fanzine ismade to inspire its readers to shape their environment after the COVID-19 period. This is a very modern fanzine and so will be made using modern creative applications. Style The style of the fanzine is very ‘modern’ with bright bold colour scheme (mostly primary colours). There is also simple geometric shapes as well as off centre text placement and solely sans serif fonts, all adding to the ‘modern’ motif. Techniques This fanzine was made solely digitally, any images from within the fanzine aren't original however are poignant and relevant to the subject and do look good when taking up a single page. All the text is word processed . Content The written content is done in a traditionally newspaper fashion as in standard articles in columns with quotes woven in. In terms of visual content images follow the newspaper trend with being relevant to the article and not much else, however introducing the segment is a visually pleasing double page spread.

Editor's Notes
- #3 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. Techniques: How are these things being made? What methods are being used? Find out and also use your own experience. For example, is a fanzine being hand written or word processed? 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. Content: The material, including text and images, that constitutes a publication or document. What is actually in this product? Break it down. Is it interviews, monologues, reviews, instructions… Identify the different types of content in the items you research, to help your own ideas.
