NOTE: At the bottom of this PPD I uploaded my Project Evaluation as a word document in case you want to check the word count.
During this term, I had the chance to create my own magazine based on all that I have learned during Term 2 and Term 3.
I started my project by thinking about my zine’s theme. I was required to choose a theme based on the word self, so I chose to work with the theme self-knowledge. I think that this theme has allowed me to explore a lot of my creativity and photography, and also to explore a new style that I have never tried before. In addition, this theme is very important to me, it is something that I think and struggle on a daily basis, so it allowed me to be me and explore my feelings, so I think this was definitely the starting point to build my zine.
I think that I definitely responded to my theme throughout my photography and storytelling. When I was creating the content for my zine, I wanted my theme to be clear to anyone who was reading my zine so I tried to make it understandable from the beginning. Besides that, I think that working with different people and different personalities helped a lot in building my concept.
When looking back on my project proposal and now looking at my ZINE it makes me happy to see that I was able to achieve all of my goals. I think I was capable of achieving all of the ideas that I had for my ZINE and also the look that I wanted it to have. Moreover, I think that I was able to show what was my BA choice with my ZINE. When I was creating and planning my ZINE, I wanted to make sure that I was doing a bunch of photoshoots so that this would be very clear.
Throughout this term, I received a lot of feedback. A lot of people said that they liked my work, some people said to reduce the images and more. I feel that this made me learn a lot and also evolve. These are feedbacks that I will definitely take for my future work.
In general, I’m very happy with my work and how it turned out. I’m very satisfied with my final outcome and how I was able to organize myself and do everything in time, and also I’m very happy with my evolution from the beginning until now. I’m also very grateful for every tutor’s help and classmate’s feedback because it made me the artist that I am now.
