Creating a miniature magazine with digital images that I created, was really cool to me to be able to see a real mock up of my work. For my concept behind the Zine, I chose to revolve it around women empowerment, embracing being a woman and the little things we as women love. I tried to create this cohesive aesthetic by first designing a mood board on Pintrest and then building off of those original designs to create my own new ones. Adding girlier elements like nail polish on french fries and dishwashing gloves with rings on them etc. Designing these images within Photoshop and Illustrator really improved my skills and got me more comfortable with using more tools on each of the platforms. I really like the size that I chose for my zine, I feel it appropriately emphasizes my images and makes the whole zine feel more fluid. I tried to make my images all feel cohesive and share similar themes to make all the images feel connected. I definitely preferred adobe photoshop over illustrator, because I found that I could do more in photoshop specific to this project, as in "stealing images", because most photos that I "stole" from the internet needed their background removed, which was only a skill I could do on photoshop. Overall, I really enjoyed the creative aspect of this project and I had a lot of fun with it. I thought 12 images total (6 illustrator and 6 photoshop) was definitely a reasonable number of designs to have.
