STUDIO: DISAPPOINTMENT ZINE BRIEF/INITIAL IDEAS

After spending an large long time on studio brief 1 the external collaboration with all the fashion designers and photographers, I bumped into a lot of issues along the way. I definitely didn't expect the collaboration to go too smoothly. Throughout the entire process, I had up to 9 and counting people drop out of the collaboration. Their way of dropping out usually involved a long paragraph of funny reasons to why they couldn't d it anymore leaving me in a tricky situation 9 times of having to replace them. It left me very disappointed.

After been handed all of this content I felt like I wanted to use it for a project and somehow publish these apologies.

One idea I had was to create an umbrella of doubt and screen print all of the text onto it. This means it would look like a regular umbrella at first and then afterwards it would be opened and the surprise of a poor apology would be found.

Another idea I had was to create a simple zine titled the disappointment zine and typeset the text carefully in response to the type of apology. This would create a humorous reading experience that give the apologies more narrative and character without including the collaborators names.

One idea I had was to create an artist book with the idea of disappointment travelling through it. Perhaps you could believe you were getting something great when reading it however at the end you were given something distasteful and bitter.
