Commercial image creation
For this term's project, I've decided to choose the Traveling Man zine brief.
Commercial
Brief
Travelling Man
|
Create a Comic or
Zine suitable for Travelling Man Newcastle
Deadline TBC by Travelling Man*
“We feel passionate about comic books, board games
and RPGs and we want you to feel the same. Our goal is to get everyone in the
world to love at least one comic or game. We want to let the uneducated know
that they're not just for kids.
Comics can be about love, hate, sex, politics,
religion, life, death, anything. Sometimes stereotypical and sometimes the
most amazing out-there pieces of literature you will every read. We want to
bring comics from subculture to mainstream because we love 'em.
We are a
small independent business run by some of the friendliest people you will
ever meet! We have four shops located in Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester and
York.”
You are to create a small circulation self published
zine or comic. This can be any subject base. Content, production, name,
subject and price must all be finalised by hand in.
You have complete creative freedom on the subject
and content, but proposed idea must be discussed with your tutor. The concept
must be well researched and developed taking in to consideration historical
and contemporary zines and comics.
The message your publication is projecting, as well
as the format and technique in which it is produced must be distinctive to
your desired market.
If your publication is at a high enough standard it
will be presented to the buyer at travelling man for consideration to be
stocked in their store. It will also be critically assessed.

I've chosen this brief because I've never created a zine before and I think that designing and making one would be a great challenge for me.
