After doing a bit of research on artists book’s and fanzines, I feel fanzines are not as covered and these are more modernly used particularly by universities as they are more concentrated information rather than lots of information in a large book. Thinking about how a document normally folds I need to be more experimental so traditionally a document is folded from 4 sides see rough illustration below.
Given that most documents that are folded are generally square i’ve decided to use a different shape to make this pamphlet look different and more playful. I’m going to use the artists from this page below as i really loved the look of these zines, they’e so creative and brightly coloured.

I’ve kept the pamphlet as basic as possible using American typewriter font to keep in style with modern print styles that are more vintage looking. I chose orange and red to keep interest bright and colourful is more eye catching especially to a younger audience which i want to attract at a university level. Most students will actually look online before they go and view something in a gallery. So i have included QR codes for the above webpages featuring the zines i have mentioned in the pamphlet so they can view the page themselves, a very modern approach to a printed document.
