Our Zine has to be specific about our chosen community, which would explain that community and tell a story through the narrative. I wanted this chance to be a learning experience for me also, so I chose a community I knew little about. I decided the focus of my Zine would be on the people who have allotments and grow their own organic food and vegetables.
The whole notion of growing your own produce, to become more self sustained and 'green' interests me and would be exciting to try and replicate that in my designs.
After observing and interviewing the community I learned many things which will encourage and support my design ideas. Firstly one of the main appeals to working on an allotment is working outside and using your hands to produce something, which basically means my Zine will have to be completely made by hand, no computers! Yes it will take longer but again that ties in with the whole notion of growing organic food as they don't use chemicals or pester-sides so the food takes longer to produce but looks and tastes better in the end :)
